More quotes by Alex Flinn
Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
Alex Flinn
Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.

That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.

In stories like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, they always say the heroine is 'as good as she is beautiful.' I wondered if people just wanted that to be true, wanted the beautiful to be good. I wondered if they wanted the ugly to be bad because then they wouldn't have to feel bad for them.

Alex Flinn
I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who's having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another's viewpoint has served me well as a writer.
Alex Flinn
I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.
Alex Flinn
A beautiful thing is precious no matter the price
Alex Flinn
The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.
Alex Flinn
Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.
Alex Flinn
A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
Alex Flinn
People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore.
Alex Flinn
You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?
