More quotes by E. Lockhart
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

E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
How was I supposed to concentrate on my mental health when my therapist was encased in orange sparkle madness?
E. Lockhart
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them, said Mr. Sutton. You show them the tiniest edge of your secret, but the rest you keep under wraps.
E. Lockhart
I like to be direct. Okay, I said. But I warn you, I like to be evasive, inserutable and generally send mixed messages. I doubt it. Human interaction is not my strong point, I told him.
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
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.
E. Lockhart
Never take a seat in the back of the room. Winners sit up front.
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.
E. Lockhart
Dances are generally more fun to think about and get ready for than they actually are when you get there.
