More quotes by Deb Caletti
Truth was funny, because it was an insistent thing, maybe as powerful and insistent as some force of nature, the push of water or wind. You could keep it out only so long, but it had its own will and its own needs, and maybe you could keep it at bay with lies, but not for long, not for always.

Love. She looked at me with those blue eyes. Isn't it astonishing how confused and complicated such a small,simple word is?

Deb Caletti
I may be nervous, I say. Okay, I'm really glad you said that, because I just went to the back room to put on more deodorant. Sebastian says.
Deb Caletti
A person could leave you so quickly. So much history and time and memories, but they snuck away from you, and other things took their place. How could you hold on? Wait. A bigger question. The biggest. How could you hold on and let go?
Deb Caletti
I know parental embarrassment usually stops somewhere at fifteen, but he just kept on giving me good reasons.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes I’ve even wished there was a human pause button, where you could choose some point in your life where you could stay always.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes you've got to make a mess before you clean it up.

Becoming a YA author was actually a very lucky accident. When I wrote the Queen of Everything, I thought it was a book for adults.

Fear was the biggest bullshitter, he’d said. But sometimes, too, fear told the truth.
Deb Caletti
You could put your confusion and upset and worries into whatever book you were reading. You could sort of set them down in there, and you could come out with your head on a little straighter. I don't why stories worked that way, but they did.
