E. Lockhart
Never take a seat in the back of the room. Winners sit up front.
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
Dances are generally more fun to think about and get ready for than they actually are when you get there.
E. Lockhart
I don't know if there is a one for me. I think I might like variety.
E. Lockhart
It shattered something inside me that hadn't been broken before.
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
I suffer migraines. I do not suffer fools.
