E. Lockhart
I swear, I have no understanding of other human beings.
E. Lockhart
Don't call me Alessandro, or this could get ugly. Oh, then may I call you Alice?
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
She had been nobody and he had been golden.
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
Because on some level, even though it never turns out to be true, and even though I should know better, I still expect life to be like the movies.
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
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
E. Lockhart
Sex Ed - when I finally got to take it - was all about biology and birth control and nothing about anything that actually goes on between people.
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
She doesn't feel like crying anymore.
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
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
Dances are generally more fun to think about and get ready for than they actually are when you get there.
E. Lockhart
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
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.
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
