More quotes by E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
Get over it, Roo. If you have friends who actually like you, you’re popular enough.
E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.
E. Lockhart
If you don't want to be in an argument with someone, it is probably best to try to solve the problem, rather than lying around hoping the other person will do it for you.
E. Lockhart
Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.
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
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
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
E. Lockhart
