More quotes by E. Lockhart

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
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
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
Love is when you have a really amazing piece of cake, and it’s the very last piece, but you let him have it.
E. Lockhart
You are my girlfriend, whispered Matthew. You're my girl and I'm your guy, and you're my girl and I'm your guy. Let's not fight. -pg 126
E. Lockhart
How was I supposed to concentrate on my mental health when my therapist was encased in orange sparkle madness?
E. Lockhart
I think it was the institution...I was trying to master it.
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
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
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 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
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.
E. Lockhart
Everything doesn't seem like anything when you love someone. Especially when you're young.
