More quotes by E. Lockhart
They do sometimes go crazy, these people, because the world is telling them not to want the things they want. It can seem saner to give up-But then one goes insane from giving up.

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
...a box where she was expected to be sweet and sensitive (but not oversensitive) a box for young and pretty girls who were not as bright or powerful as their boyfriends. A box for people who were not forces to be reckoned with.
E. Lockhart
I think it was the institution...I was trying to master it.
E. Lockhart
These guys, they were so sure of their places in life--so deeply confident of their merit and their future--they didn't need any kind of front at all.
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
Never take a seat in the back of the room. Winners sit up front.
E. Lockhart
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
E. Lockhart
How was I supposed to concentrate on my mental health when my therapist was encased in orange sparkle madness?
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
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
If those are your friends, you've got no need for enemies.
