Ellen Hopkins
Anger requires energy, something I don't dare waste on what cannot be altered.
Ellen Hopkins
Whatever has happened in someone's past, the future is theirs to shape. The first step is to find a way out.
Ellen Hopkins
Love means holding on to someone just as hard as you can because if you don't, one blink and they might disappear...forever.
Ellen Hopkins
Hot flush, raging bluch. Ice flash, instant crash.
Ellen Hopkins
Don't Stop ...down, ...Down there ...down where ...monsters, ...Run!
Ellen Hopkins
You deserve good things, and I want to be one of them.
Ellen Hopkins
She's incredible, not that she's perfect. But you once said imperfections create character.
