More quotes by Julie Anne Peters
I hear you. I just don't believe a word you say.
Julie Anne Peters
I don't sleep. All night long I'm wide awake, thinking, Secrets, secrets, secrets. There are secrets in my past no one needs to know. Secrets in my present that might kill Kim and Chip. I don't want to take my secrets with me when I go. When I pass through the light, i want to be free of everything and everyone.
Julie Anne Peters
What can happen in a few minutes changes you forever.
Julie Anne Peters
What will I become? Because I won't be me any longer. That will be a relief. I dont want to be the helpless person I've always been.
Julie Anne Peters
His invitation lingers. So does my question. Why me? I don't know the answer. When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a starving, stunted bird who never grew wings and lost all reason to sing.
Julie Anne Peters
I suppose I'll be remembered as dull. Timid. No one ever knew me. People came. They went. I was kind, I think. Not sympathetic, but considerate of others. I always gave up my place in line. I loaned out pencils and paper, or let people take them from me. I never reported a sexual assault.
Julie Anne Peters
Our eyes met across the crowded room, like in the movies, except we didn't share a knowing smile and race into each other's arms. Instead I fell into the trash can.
Julie Anne Peters
Take it as a token. Because tomorrow when I go, I want you to believe friends are possible.

Julie Anne Peters
Why are people so cruel? What did I ever do to them?
Julie Anne Peters
Yeah, I hear the truth. But this is my truth.
Julie Anne Peters
Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake. They're not impossible. Reality is real. It's totally and completely under my control.
Julie Anne Peters
His eyes are like a telescope. I look into them and I'm transported across the universe to a world I've never been.
Julie Anne Peters
No one ever found out what was happening inside me. How the pain was eating me away. No one ever came to my rescue, or stood up for me.
Julie Anne Peters
Who becomes you? No one. No one should become me. When I die, I don't want my body or soul inhabited. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.
Julie Anne Peters
I'd decided to write him and tell him to leave me alone. Please, in a nice way, go away, I really can't deal with you.
Julie Anne Peters
Secrets. I can't take then with me. If I do, when I go, when I arrive at my final destination, I'll be . . . impure.
Julie Anne Peters
