More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
I haven't cried since Mom died. I mean, after something like that, what's left to cry about, right? But I let myself cry now. Loss is loss. Doesn't take death to create it. (266)
Ellen Hopkins
I really have to wonder who or what made Daddy become this way. Babies aren't born cruel or filled with sick desire. Evil is not intrinsic. It's fashioned.

I don't love him, & he definitely doesn't love me. Still, he semi-fills a gaping black hole inside me. That place wants love, maybe even needs love, but love is something Im pretty sure doesn't exist.

Ellen Hopkins
Losing It Some days I think I'm losing my mind. What seems so clear most of the time becomes a big question mark. Am I really the way I percieve myself, or is the person others see the truth of me? I wait for answers, but inside I know I have to go out and find them. And answers like knowledge, are not always where we first look for them.
Ellen Hopkins
he sucked the nectar from her heart like a famished butterfly.
Ellen Hopkins
It wasn't my first kiss, maybe it wasn't my best kiss, but it was pretty fine, and the fact that he had asked will forever make that kiss stand out in my mind, touch my heart, make me remember a kiss so tender it made me cry.
Ellen Hopkins
When you've only got one little shimmer of sunshine, you capture it best you can.
Ellen Hopkins
When you love someone, you don't want to hurt them, even if they deserve to be hurt. When you love someone, you want to hurt them, even when they don't deserve to be hurt.
Ellen Hopkins
I want to know what it means to be in love. But in my dictionary 'in love' is indefinable.
Ellen Hopkins
the not-so-bookish librarian was half angel, half she-devil, so sayeth the rumor mill.
Ellen Hopkins
Maybe Life is random. No fate. No God. Just Time.
