Francine Pascal
Nature compensates for its mistakes.
Francine Pascal
The same way that some people can play the piano, I can do plots! They just come!
Francine Pascal
As pathetic as it was, she'd rather hold on to the possibility of something perfect than be hit with the reality of nothing much.
Francine Pascal
I always loved reading. Growing up, my favorite book was 'A Child's Garden of Verses,' by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Francine Pascal
If you want to mess with me, you'd rather be ready for the consequences.

Jessica walked away from Aaron and Ken, flashing them both a big smile. They were both very attractive - she had dated each of them a number of times. In fact, not too long ago she had contemplated falling in love with Ken for lack of anything better to do.
Francine Pascal
Since I was a small child, I was always writing either poems or plays... plays in which I had the starring part.
Francine Pascal
The people with the most fear have the greatest opportunity to be brave.

He slowed down a bit more. Gaia, how do you know these things? She shrugged. I'm smart. And modest, too. Modesty is a waste of time, she pronounced. I'll keep that in mind.

Love was more than blind. It was deaf and dumb, too. It was catatonic. It was vegetative.

When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High,' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world. And what I really liked was how it moved things on from 'Sleeping Beauty'-esque romance novels where the girl had to wait for the hero. This would be girl-driven, very different, I decided - and indeed it is.
Francine Pascal
When I first heard the word existential, I didn't know what it meant. But then I found out that no one knows what it means, so now I use it all the time.
Francine Pascal
I know you think that when you're 35, 45, 55, you'll be different. But I'm going to let you in on a bit of a secret. You're going to look different, and your life is going to be different, but in your head you'll always be that 16-year-old girl.
Francine Pascal
Life's one great lesson was: Do not care. Not caring was a person's real protection.
Francine Pascal
Elizabeth scowled, feeling like a nobody, a nothing. She felt like her entire self had been made worthless. She could change her interests, but she couldn't change her looks. She'd never be six feet tall. She'd never look like a supermodel.
Francine Pascal
I get some of my ideas from watching my three daughters, but most of them come from my own memories of growing up. I can remember how romantic I was, not just about love, but romance in the classic sense - the romantic ideals: of honor and truth, of loyalty, sacrifice and fairness. Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me.

Another funny thing about having friends was that they expected things of you. they made you want to not be a terrible, awful, execrable person. They made you feel worse when you were one. It was a lot easier not to have any friends.
Francine Pascal
I love 'Sweet Valley,' but I love it from a different angle. There are people for whom it is their adolescence. They own it, in a way that even I don't. I've come to respect the project more because of the response than I've had. It's more important than I realized it was. I didn't understand the breadth and depth of it. now I'm beginning to more.
