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.

Love is when you have a really amazing piece of cake, and it’s the very last piece, but you let him have it.

I know they're not getting divorced or anything, but when your parents argue it makes the whole universe seem like it's tipping, like everything could change if they got mad enough at each other, like the world isn't a safe place. And of course, that's true, isn't it? The world is not a safe place.
E. Lockhart
Image
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
Image
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.
E. Lockhart
Image
And this is my life, getting dumped with no warning. Or liking people who don't like me back, or who don't like me enough, or not as much as they like someone else.

Image
Don't call me Alessandro, or this could get ugly. Oh, then may I call you Alice?
E. Lockhart
Image
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.

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.

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.
