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.

Image
A tomato may be a fruit, but it is a singular fruit. A savory fruit. A fruit that has ambitions far beyond the ambitions of other fruits.

Image
What if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?
E. Lockhart
Image
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.

Image
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
E. Lockhart
Image
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
