I heard you've been having some problems with your girlfriend. Headmistress Northcutt says. No, I say. Not at all. Audrey broke up with me after the winter holiday, exhausted by my moodiness. It's impossible to have problems with a girlfriend who's no longer mine.
Holly Black
I drive him to school, then I break back into Barron's house. I'm the best kind of thief, the kind that leaves behind items equal in value to those he's stolen. Then I go home and shave until my skin is as slick as any slickster's.
Holly Black
Can't get away from your own self.
Holly Black
You have to write a lot. And you have to rewrite what you wrote a lot more.
