Ellen Hopkins
Many readers share their stories with me and if one speaks to me (or if the same theme keeps coming at me), I will research it and decide if it would make a good book. But, straight down to it, people inspire me.
Ellen Hopkins
But then, my entire life is bullshit. The best things in it have vanished, ghosts. Ghosts I'll admit I created.
Ellen Hopkins
Something stirred beneath my skin, some being inside I'd only suspected existed, demon or angel, I couldn't say.

Ellen Hopkins
Religion is for followers... Followers and puppets.
Ellen Hopkins
That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in. Kaeleigh wants to believe in me. I am her twin, forever alive inside her. And when she needs me, I am always here.
Ellen Hopkins
But death doesn't scare me. To know exactly when I might expect it, up close and in my face, would actually be a comfort. Because to tell the truth, most of the time dying seems pretty much like my only means of escape.
Ellen Hopkins
I wanted to meet the monster. Why go down if you can go up?
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
Love is Chocolate The unprocessed kind. Dark. Bitter. But always with the promise of sweet perfection. All it takes is sugar- that certain someone's kiss, flavored with possibility. If Dani has taught me anything, it's that life is brimming with possibilities. Every single day brings choices.
Ellen Hopkins
