More quotes by E. Lockhart
Frankie appreciated both the accolades and the rejections equally, because both meant she'd had an impact. She wasn't a person who needed to be liked so much as she was a person who liked to be notorious.
E. Lockhart
Secrets are more powerful when people know you've got them.
E. Lockhart
We shouldn't piss them off, explained Frankie, because who knows what they'll do now that they've united.
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
You are my girlfriend, whispered Matthew. You're my girl and I'm your guy, and you're my girl and I'm your guy. Let's not fight. -pg 126
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
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
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
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
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
See the world as it is, not as you wish it would be
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
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
I think it was the institution...I was trying to master it.
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
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
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
The universe is seeming really huge right now. I need something to hold on to.
E. Lockhart
It shattered something inside me that hadn't been broken before.
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
