More quotes by E. Lockhart
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
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.
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
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
E. Lockhart
And this is my life, getting dumped with no warning. Or liking people who don't like me back, or who don't like me enough, or not as much as they like someone else.
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.

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.
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
If those are your friends, you've got no need for enemies.
E. Lockhart
I sit around too much, waiting for other people to do stuff and angsting about stuff they've done, without doing anything myself.
E. Lockhart
If you don't want to be in an argument with someone, it is probably best to try to solve the problem, rather than lying around hoping the other person will do it for you.
E. Lockhart
I looked at her. my lovely, tall mother with her pretty coil of hair and her hard, bitter mouth. Her veins were never open. Her heart never leapt out to flop helplessly on the lawn. She never melted into puddles. She was normal. Always. At any cost.
E. Lockhart
Singin' in the Rain was most excellent if you like movies where people burst into song and tap-dance. Which I do, though not as much as I like movies where people don't.
E. Lockhart
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
E. Lockhart
We shouldn't piss them off, explained Frankie, because who knows what they'll do now that they've united.
E. Lockhart
I swear, I have no understanding of other human beings.
E. Lockhart
I suffer migraines. I do not suffer fools.
