More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
Forgiveness isn’t my best thing. Easier staying pissed. But I’m tired of being pissed all the time. Tired of feeling hurt by stuff that can never be fixed because it is an indelible part of the past.
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.

Possibilities ...in the closet ...itching ...to break out ...but afraid of ...the fallout

Death Is only the easy way out if you are the one who dies.

I never went to Albuquerque expecting to find love. I thought it had found me there, followed me home. I never came home expecting to lose love in the space of one brief telephone call. Is it always so short-lived?
Ellen Hopkins
Anger requires energy, something I don't dare waste on what cannot be altered.
Ellen Hopkins
This time when we kiss, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel it in my heart. And I realize love isn't about sex. It's about connection.

Yesterday influences today, thus creates tomorrow.

Ellen Hopkins
Funny thing about the monster. The worse he treats you, the more you love him.
Ellen Hopkins
When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival.
Ellen Hopkins
Perfect? How can you define a word without concrete meaning?
Ellen Hopkins
Red and raw like my heart, pried from your's, the two beating, no longer together, but a thousand miles between them when only yesterday they thumped in unison.
Ellen Hopkins
Once ...Why ...lie? ...when ...truth is ...the easier path
Ellen Hopkins
Life is full of choices. We don't always make good ones. It seems to Kristina you gotta be crazy to open your windows, invite the demons in. Bree throws rocks at the feeble glass, laughs
Ellen Hopkins
I know I can't stay here forever
Ellen Hopkins
Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.
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.
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?
