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
Singin' in the Rain was most excellent if you like movies where people burst into song and tap-dance. Which I do, though not as much as I like movies where people don't.
E. Lockhart
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
E. Lockhart
A tomato may be a fruit, but it is a singular fruit. A savory fruit. A fruit that has ambitions far beyond the ambitions of other fruits.
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.
