You'd be shocked at how many adults are really dead inside—walking through their days with no idea who they are, just waiting for a heart attack or cancer or a Mack truck to come along and finish the job.

Gossip is the foul smell from the Devil's backside.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Oppressive bastards, think they own the place. I told them that karma's going to kick their asses.
Laurie Halse Anderson
I am so sorry. I wish you knew even one tenth of one percent of how sorry I am. ...It was my fault. Can I kill myself here, or should I do it outside, so the mess on your carpet doesn't upset your mother?
Laurie Halse Anderson
The stars whirled above us and the firecrackers blazed. The moon stood watch as drops of blood fell, careless seeds that sizzled in the snow.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Apologies mean nothing if you don't mean it.
Laurie Halse Anderson
I needed to hear the world but didn't want the world to know I was listening.

Laurie Halse Anderson
I want to tell him that it's just a stupid car, but bits of me are scattered all over town the graveyard, school, Cassie's room, the motel, and standing in from of the sink in my mother's kitchen. It takes too much energy to gather all the bits together, so I just sit there and watch him implode.
