More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
I am different. And I don't understand exactly how. And I don't understand just why.
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
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
If I come back to you now, can we be what we were before life’s uncertain rhythms tore us so far apart? If I return today, will your arms gather me in, or will I be wrenched away, snatched by riptide I have no power to resist? If I find my way to you, one man standing in a crowd, will I even know who you are?

Ellen Hopkins
Why are people so afraid of giving their kids necessary information that might prevent an unwanted pregnancy or disease? But they're not worried about the violent nature of video games or movies or books.
Ellen Hopkins
Everyone's afraid of everybody else...maybe because we're all afraid of ourselves.
Ellen Hopkins
Religion is for followers... Followers and puppets.
Ellen Hopkins
I wanted to meet the monster. Why go down if you can go up?
Ellen Hopkins
the not-so-bookish librarian was half angel, half she-devil, so sayeth the rumor mill.
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
The truth is, I've always been afraid of letting anyone get too close. I built a wall around me, a barricade to hide behind those few times someone wanted entry to my heart.
Ellen Hopkins
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
He has built a pedestal for her so tall that she is afraid to be lifted atop it, because to fall would mean certain death. But oh, she would rise far, far beyond fear and be held by arms so strong, and love so pure, that falling would not be an option.
Ellen Hopkins
She's no longer afraid to die. What she's afraid of is living, accepting the status quo.
Ellen Hopkins
I mean, if you're gonna purposely lose your mind, you want to get it back some day. Don't you? Okay, maybe not.
