More quotes by E. Lockhart

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

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
I don't know if there is a one for me. I think I might like variety.

E. Lockhart
Dances are generally more fun to think about and get ready for than they actually are when you get there.
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
See the world as it is, not as you wish it would be
E. Lockhart
It shattered something inside me that hadn't been broken before.
E. Lockhart
Never take a seat in the back of the room. Winners sit up front.
E. Lockhart
Absorbing the fact that sometimes, people do cut you slack and forgive you and want you anyway. Sometimes they do. And when they do, even if it's not a happy ending, it is delicious
E. Lockhart
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
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
These guys, they were so sure of their places in life--so deeply confident of their merit and their future--they didn't need any kind of front at all.
E. Lockhart
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
E. Lockhart
