More quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
People, you'll find, aren't usually all good or bad. Sometimes they're just a little bit good and a whole lot bad. And sometimes they're mostly good with a dash of bad. And most of us, well, we fall in the middle somewhere.

Win walked over to me. He held out his palm. In the middle of it was a single black sequin from the dress Scarlet had lent me. You lost this, he said. I giggled, slightly embarrassed to be leaving bits of myself behind. I'm shedding.

I was just thinking... isn't it lucky that we decided to become co-editors? If one takes a blow to the head, the other can fill in. If the other's lung spontaneoulsy collapses, the one can fill in. It's a perfect system once you think about it. ~Will Landsman

A life isn't measured in hours or minutes. Its the quality not the length. All things considered I've been luckier than most. Almost sixteen years on Earth, and I've already had eight good ones here.
