More quotes by Lauren Myracle
And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.
Lauren Myracle
It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.
Lauren Myracle
I'm a southern girl, and I grew up with this slightly schizophrenic upbringing where I bounced back and forth between Atlanta, Georgia, and a tiny mountain town called Brevard, North Carolina. My parents were divorced, and my two lives were very different because of socioeconomic reasons.
Lauren Myracle
And they all have pretty chilrden, And the children go to school, And the children to go summer camp, And then to the university, Where they are put in bozes And they come out all the same. - Malvina Reynolds

One: Don't play leapfrog with elephants. Two: Don't pet a tiger unless his tail is wagging. Three: Never, ever, mess with the Ladies Auxiliary. -Mayberry Rules for a Long, Happy Life
Lauren Myracle
We all mess up. It's what we learn from our mistakes that matters.
Lauren Myracle
Christmas is never over,unless you want it to be... Christmas is a state of mind.
Lauren Myracle
We are all flawed, my dear. Every one of us. And believe me, we've all made mistakes. You've just got to take a good hard look at yourself, change what needs to be changed, and move one, pet.
Lauren Myracle
Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.
Lauren Myracle
If she did see, I hoped she' be amazed. Amazed and thankful, because without even asking, she'd received a genuine autograph from a genuine girl from Atlanta. Not just any girl, but a girl who was, frankly, a pretty big deal. A girl who was me.
Lauren Myracle
There's something strange about this big pink bunny.
Lauren Myracle
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Lauren Myracle
Also, as an author, character has always been what I'm most interested in - much more so than plot or setting, although those are good things too.
Lauren Myracle
Curse false-hand-holding boys!
Lauren Myracle
Suck it up. This is the life you chose for yourself, so buck up and deal.
Lauren Myracle
I did a lot of research on a couple different things. One was, how do people handle hating themselves and hating others? And hatred is a secondary emotion, I think it always springs from something else ... usually fear, that's probably what it is. So I looked a lot at that.
Lauren Myracle
I didn't like being alone. Being alone was slightly better than having to deal with people, that's all. Or so I'd convinced myself.
Lauren Myracle
But you have to live in the present. You have to take the old and make it new -- that's my point.
Lauren Myracle
Three hot chicks for three hot chicks. THEY'RE NOT CHICKS! THEY'RE DUCKS!
Lauren Myracle
I think that ties in with issues of identity as well - that sometimes there are parts of us we want to hide, and then there's other times we say, You know what? Nope. Done hiding that part.
Lauren Myracle
