More quotes by E. Lockhart

Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.
E. Lockhart
I think it was the institution...I was trying to master it.
E. Lockhart
I like to be direct. Okay, I said. But I warn you, I like to be evasive, inserutable and generally send mixed messages. I doubt it. Human interaction is not my strong point, I told him.

E. Lockhart
I swear, I have no understanding of other human beings.
E. Lockhart
I sit around too much, waiting for other people to do stuff and angsting about stuff they've done, without doing anything myself.
E. Lockhart
...a box where she was expected to be sweet and sensitive (but not oversensitive) a box for young and pretty girls who were not as bright or powerful as their boyfriends. A box for people who were not forces to be reckoned with.

Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them, said Mr. Sutton. You show them the tiniest edge of your secret, but the rest you keep under wraps.
