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.

E. Lockhart
Everything doesn't seem like anything when you love someone. Especially when you're young.
E. Lockhart
You are my girlfriend, whispered Matthew. You're my girl and I'm your guy, and you're my girl and I'm your guy. Let's not fight. -pg 126
E. Lockhart
She doesn't feel like crying anymore.
E. Lockhart
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.
E. Lockhart
I know they're not getting divorced or anything, but when your parents argue it makes the whole universe seem like it's tipping, like everything could change if they got mad enough at each other, like the world isn't a safe place. And of course, that's true, isn't it? The world is not a safe place.
E. Lockhart
