You shouldn't miss someone who don't miss you, right?
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
I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.
Alex Flinn
Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose.

Good to know: Doctors can't cure you of being a beast.

You are right. I have no idea, and it is none of my business, and I was taught to obey my parents. But sometimes it is just impossible to obey blindly. Sometimes a child must strike out on her own. A child cannot be a child forever, whether that means not touching a spindle or . . . or . . .

Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.

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.

Since I've written many of my books from a less-than-sympathetic viewpoint, I think that being able to see things from all sides is a useful talent.
Alex Flinn
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!
Alex Flinn
I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
Alex Flinn
I was painfully shy, and I had tremendous difficulty making friends. So, lacking friends, I watched other people. Watching is something all writers must do, and it was in junior high that I learned to do it.
Alex Flinn
Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.
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
I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.
Alex Flinn
Each of my books took roughly one and a half years to write. Some may have taken a shorter time to write the draft and a longer time to revise, while others were the opposite.
Alex Flinn
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.
Alex Flinn
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
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
A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
