Alone, there is only the person inside. I've grown to like her better than the stuck-up husk of me. Alone, there is no perfect daughter, no gifted high school junior, no Kristina Georgia Snow. There is only Bree. (Ellen Hopkins)

More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
you fly until you crash two days two nights no sleep, no food, come down off the monster YOU CRASH REAL HARD
Ellen Hopkins
I feel like a goddess, jailed in her Olympus. Little wonder how the gods toyed with humans. Toyed with women, to watch them squirm, pollinate the seeds of despair toyed with men, to satiate their Seven Deadly Sins.
Ellen Hopkins
Alone everything changes. Some might call it distorted reality but it's exactly the place I need to be.
Ellen Hopkins
I nod, because I do understand. I'm just not sure how to go about divorcing myself from the evil I've already accepted.
Ellen Hopkins
I'm a total wreck. Afraid to let anyone near. Afraid they'll see the real me.
Ellen Hopkins
Our meeting, touching, accidentally connecting immediately, interwoven hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart.
Ellen Hopkins
Love means holding on to someone just as hard as you can because if you don't, one blink and they might disappear...forever.
Ellen Hopkins
Possibilities ...in the closet ...itching ...to break out ...but afraid of ...the fallout
Ellen Hopkins
I never went to Albuquerque expecting to find love. I thought it had found me there, followed me home. I never came home expecting to lose love in the space of one brief telephone call. Is it always so short-lived?
Ellen Hopkins
She's no longer afraid to die. What she's afraid of is living, accepting the status quo.
Ellen Hopkins
Detailed descriptions, abstract ambitions, relevant observations, your's and mine.
Ellen Hopkins
Falling in love with someone is the surest highway to hurt that I know. When the door to love opens, the window to control closes.
Ellen Hopkins
I need to capture my sprite with trembling hands. Except I could crush her. Wonder how many small things of beauty - flowers, seashells, dragonflies - have met such a demise. Wonder how much fragile love has collapsed beneath the weight of confession.
Ellen Hopkins
Life is full of choices. We don't always make good ones.
Ellen Hopkins
When i'm with you my blood flows smoothly through
Ellen Hopkins
And almost instantly, Daddy made everything seem just fine. Even when it wasn't.
Ellen Hopkins
Authors have to write for their characters, for who they are, that's the strength of books. Don't worry about censors. Just write the story you need to tell and the rewards will come.
Ellen Hopkins
Sometimes the little things in life mean the most.
Ellen Hopkins
You can have your pick of pretty women. Why me? You're like the ocean, Pattyn. Pretty enough on the surface, but dive down into your depths, you'll find beauty most people never see. Lucky me. I fell in, headfirst.
Ellen Hopkins
Happiness, you see, its just an illusion of Fate, a heavenly sleight of hand designed to make you believe in fairy tales. But there's no happily ever after. You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.
