More quotes by E. Lockhart
You can't have an ending. It's impossible. Because unlike in the movies, life goes on. You're never at the end until you die.
E. Lockhart
It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are. It is better to lead than to follow. It is better to speak up than stay silent. It is better to open doors than to shut them on people. She will not be simple and sweet. She will not be what people tell her to be. That Bunny Rabbit is dead.
E. Lockhart
...our family is white as far back on the family tree as I've ever looked, and I guess I picture people white white white unless someone tells me otherwise
E. Lockhart
I looked at her. my lovely, tall mother with her pretty coil of hair and her hard, bitter mouth. Her veins were never open. Her heart never leapt out to flop helplessly on the lawn. She never melted into puddles. She was normal. Always. At any cost.
E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
See the world as it is, not as you wish it would be
E. Lockhart
Because on some level, even though it never turns out to be true, and even though I should know better, I still expect life to be like the movies.
E. Lockhart
I swear, I have no understanding of other human beings.
E. Lockhart
She doesn't feel like crying anymore.
E. Lockhart
Everything doesn't seem like anything when you love someone. Especially when you're young.
E. Lockhart
How was I supposed to concentrate on my mental health when my therapist was encased in orange sparkle madness?
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
Don't call me Alessandro, or this could get ugly. Oh, then may I call you Alice?
E. Lockhart
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
E. Lockhart
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
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
And this is my life, getting dumped with no warning. Or liking people who don't like me back, or who don't like me enough, or not as much as they like someone else.
E. Lockhart
