A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
Alex Flinn
The magic is over, but its effects will live forever.

Every girl pretends she is a princess at one point, no matter how little her life is like that.
Alex Flinn
I am a princess. I do not follow fashions--I make them.

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.

Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.

I enjoy people who aren't afraid to say what they mean. It makes life so much easier!

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.

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 . . .
Alex Flinn
Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
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.

I write contemporary fiction, and that is what my readers want to read.
Alex Flinn
Seem like a lot of people wear shoes they can't walk in.
Alex Flinn
True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.

A shoe that fits one person pinches another.
