More quotes by 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
Why doesn't love come with an owner's manual?
Ellen Hopkins
The universe is a big place. If I was lost up there, how would you ever find me

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.

Afraid to Die Loveless Because I think if you die without knowing love in this life, that's how you'll spend eternity. Alone. Frozen.
Ellen Hopkins

Ellen Hopkins
Anger requires energy, something I don't dare waste on what cannot be altered.
Ellen Hopkins
You can turn your back but you can never really walk away.
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
When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival.
Ellen Hopkins
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)
Ellen Hopkins
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
How can I explain purposely setting foot on a path so blatantly treacherous? Was the fun in the fall?
Ellen Hopkins
Grown up? Me? I suppose I have. Killing things, and almost killing myself, must have changed me some, after all.
Ellen Hopkins
When You Weren't Looking ...why. ...Can't you ...care ...more ...about ...me.
