More quotes by E. Lockhart

Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
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
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
E. Lockhart

E. Lockhart
Everything doesn't seem like anything when you love someone. Especially when you're young.
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
...our family is white as far back on the family tree as I've ever looked, and I guess I picture people white white white unless someone tells me otherwise
E. Lockhart
We shouldn't piss them off, explained Frankie, because who knows what they'll do now that they've united.
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
Dances are generally more fun to think about and get ready for than they actually are when you get there.
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
My problem is I can think whatever I think—girl power, solidarity, Gloria Steinem rah rah rah — but I still feel the way I feel. Which is jealous. And pissy about little things.
E. Lockhart
...a box where she was expected to be sweet and sensitive (but not oversensitive) a box for young and pretty girls who were not as bright or powerful as their boyfriends. A box for people who were not forces to be reckoned with.
