E. Lockhart
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
E. Lockhart
Don't call me Alessandro, or this could get ugly. Oh, then may I call you Alice?

E. Lockhart
Absorbing the fact that sometimes, people do cut you slack and forgive you and want you anyway. Sometimes they do. And when they do, even if it's not a happy ending, it is delicious
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
I suffer migraines. I do not suffer fools.
E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
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.
