More quotes by Sara Zarr

Sara Zarr
I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.
Sara Zarr
I do have a little bit more confidence in - or at least familiarity with - my process. For example, when it feels like it's going badly or that I'm lost, I know I'll eventually find my way because I've been through it before. But writing itself is still hard.
Sara Zarr
My whole life has been one big broken promise.
Sara Zarr
don’t mistake a new place for a new you.
Sara Zarr
Try a little tenderness.
Sara Zarr
Sometimes you should have something you don't need but that you want.
Sara Zarr
I wonder how you're supposed to know the exact moment when there's no more hope.
Sara Zarr
My books usually end where they began. I try to bring characters back to a point that is familiar but different because of the growth that they have gone through.
Sara Zarr
The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.
Sara Zarr
I didn't 'decide' to write YA, per se. But every time I thought of a story, it featured characters 15, 16, 17.
