Ellen Hopkins
Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, from the event that inspired it, hoping for a white one, to wrapping presents. But mostly I love having family and friends gathered, and sharing traditions.
Ellen Hopkins
You gotta be crazy to open your windows, invite the demons in.
Ellen Hopkins
I want to know what it means to be in love. But in my dictionary 'in love' is indefinable.
Ellen Hopkins
In control. Out of control. Sometimes they're the same thing. The trick is knowing that, realizing it's okay to feel out of control once in a while, as long as you're sure you can regain the upper hand when you absolutely need to.
Ellen Hopkins
