We swore sacred oaths to be strong and to save the planet and to be friends forever.
Laurie Halse Anderson
You’re not dead, but you’re not alive, either. You’re a wintergirl, Lia-Lia, caught in between the worlds. You’re a ghost with a beat- ing heart. Soon you’ll cross the border and be with me. I’m so stoked. I miss you wicked.

Emma hears me come up the stairs and asks me to watch a movie with her. I stick Band-Aids on my weeping cuts, put on pink pajamas so we match, and snuggle with her under her rainbow comforter. She arranges all of her stuffed animals around us in a circle, everyone facing the TV, then presses play...Ghosts dare not enter here.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Oppressive bastards, think they own the place. I told them that karma's going to kick their asses.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Mr. Freeman sighs. No imagination. What are you thirteen? Fourteen? You've already let them beat your creativity out of you!
Laurie Halse Anderson
I am learning how to be angry and sad and lonely and joyful and excited and afraid and happy.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Everybody told me to be a man. Nobody told me how.

You must walk alone to find your soul.
