More quotes by Lauren DeStefano
And everywhere girls, tumbling from trees like orange blossoms and hitting the earth with sickening thuds. They crack open.
Lauren DeStefano
There is a dark place calling to me, but I will not go just yet. I know I can't return from it.
Lauren DeStefano
It was my fifth grade teacher who introduced the idea that writing could be more than a hobby for me.

Lauren DeStefano
...maybe hope isn't such a bad thing. Maybe it's what keeps us together.

I want to make a world more magical than my own. I don't care if it makes sense, I don't care if it's ridiculed or if, rather than a neat round planet that goes around forever, it ends with a cliff that falls off into nothing. I want to have my eyes wide open, and I want to see this room and at the same time, not this room.
Lauren DeStefano
It's never right to give up on someone.
Lauren DeStefano
It's the silence I imagine in the rest of the world, the silence of an endless ocean and uninhabitable island, a silence that can be seen from space.
Lauren DeStefano
Cure is one of the most precious words in the English language. It's a short word. A clean and simple word. But it isn't so easy a thing as it sounds. There are questions like: How will this affect us in ten years? In twenty? What will it do to our children? Our children's children?

We writers are resilient souls.
