E. Lockhart
The universe is seeming really huge right now. I need something to hold on to.
E. Lockhart
See the world as it is, not as you wish it would be
E. Lockhart
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
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
I don't know if there is a one for me. I think I might like variety.
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
I think it was the institution...I was trying to master it.
E. Lockhart
