More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
The universe is a big place. If I was lost up there, how would you ever find me
Ellen Hopkins
Imperfections create character.
Ellen Hopkins
But hey, I'm not exactly sold on the idea that love is, in fact, real. Will it find me one day, overtake me, infiltrate my life like sunlight snakes through the cold of morning? Can love thaw me? will it ever?
Ellen Hopkins
Communication Was never big in my house. We sat together over dinner, but the only sound you'd hear was crunching and chewing and the little ones asking for more, please. We lived, all boxed up in invisible containers. We hardly knew the people we called sister or father. Jackie and I were the exceptions to that rule.
Ellen Hopkins
Addiction is rarely conquered alone.
Ellen Hopkins
It is hard to believe that something that seems so permanent was once so different. Change. I guess that really is one thing you can count on.
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
Death Is only the easy way out if you are the one who dies.
Ellen Hopkins
Only by confronting your demons can you ever hope to conquer them.
Ellen Hopkins
I write books for young adults because I truly connect with them on some very deep level. They are our hope, our future, and inspiring them to be the best they can be is very important to me.
Ellen Hopkins
It's probably weird to think about an addiction like it's a sentient being, but that's how it feels. Like it's something living inside you. Something you can't get rid of because killing it means killing you.
Ellen Hopkins
Clear. Cold. Empty. Like how I feel right now. Love is strange. One minute you’re jungle fever. The next you’re Artic winter.
Ellen Hopkins
Life is full of choices. We don't always make good ones.
Ellen Hopkins
Before you, I believed love was making love. Waiting only makes me love you more.
Ellen Hopkins
Even without them touching me, I feel dirty about what I do. Alex does even filthier things but says it all washes off with soap. I don’t believe that. I think it all leaves stains. Indelible stains.
Ellen Hopkins
You can turn your back but you can never really walk away.
Ellen Hopkins
Don't make me laugh, I'd much rather cry.
Ellen Hopkins
I'll Stay ...leave ...me. ...I'll ...follow ...you.
Ellen Hopkins
Our meeting, touching, accidentally connecting immediately, interwoven hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart.
Ellen Hopkins
One foot in front of the other, counting tiles on the floor so I don't have to focus the blur of painted smiles, fake faces.
