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
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
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
When you hate someone you used to love, and you think he's done something awful - he probably has.

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
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
E. Lockhart
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
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
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
If those are your friends, you've got no need for enemies.
E. Lockhart
It shattered something inside me that hadn't been broken before.
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
See the world as it is, not as you wish it would be
