Can you make yourself love? Can you make yourself loved? -Lena Kaligaris
Ann Brashares
She knew whose love she doubted. It wasn't her parents' and it wasn't her friends: It was her own.

Some things have to be believed to be seen. -Ralph Hodgson
Ann Brashares
He loved her for being so beautiful, and he hated her for it. He loved how she put shiny stuff on her lips for him, and he also reviled her for it. He wanted her to walk home alone, and he wanted to run after her and grab her up before she could take another step.

Ann Brashares
Maybe they would look at each other and feel some odd yearning, but neither of them would know why. They would want to stop, but they would be embarrassed, and neither would know what to say. They would go their separate ways. Who knew? Maybe that happened every day to people who'd once loved each other.
Ann Brashares
How many times could you give up on someone you loved?
Ann Brashares
Don't ask me any questions right now. I'm grumpy and I'll probablly make fun of you. -Effie Kaligaris
Ann Brashares
There was love expressed in the places you usually forget to look.
Ann Brashares
The word friends doesn't seem to stretch big enough to describe how we feel about each other. We forget where one of us starts and the other one stops.
Ann Brashares
Why does he have to be my boyfriend? Are you inferior if you don't have a boyfriend? Why does everybody have to be in love with somebody?
Ann Brashares
You'll turn out ordinary if you're not careful.
Ann Brashares
She was alive, and they were dead. She had to try to make her life big. As big as she could. She promised Bailey she would keep playing.
Ann Brashares
She must have sensed she never really had him. That was a sadness of hers, he knew.
Ann Brashares
If you didn't have a choice, you had to make a choice. If you didn't have options, you made some. You couldn't just let this world happen to you... he didn't see eternity. He saw this girl and this moment and this one slim chance.
Ann Brashares
Her vision of the world under the water represented a beautiful stillness, a version of heaven. It was the lost city of Lena, her alternate universe, the life she yearned for but didn't get to have.
