Laurie Halse Anderson

Laurie Halse Anderson
The best time to talk to ghosts is just before the sun comes up.
Laurie Halse Anderson

It is easier not to say anything. Shut your trap, button your lip, can it. All that crap you hear on TV about communication and expressing feelings is a lie. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say.

Laurie Halse Anderson
I failed eating, failed drinking, failed not cutting myself into shreds. Failed friendship. Failed sisterhood and daughterhood. Failed mirrors and scales and phone calls. Good thing I'm stable.
Laurie Halse Anderson
