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
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
Love is when you have a really amazing piece of cake, and it’s the very last piece, but you let him have it.
E. Lockhart
We can't know or say what other people do. You have to think what you want to do to get the situation where you want it to be.
E. Lockhart
