Sarah Dessen
When I pictured myself, it was always like just an outline in a colouring book, with the inside not yet completed.
Sarah Dessen
I think I'm way too much of a control freak to co-author anything with anyone. I have a hard enough time writing with myself! I admire people that can do it, but it's not for me.
Sarah Dessen
I sat up, sliding them off, and the quiet around me did not, for once, seem empty and vast. Instead, for the first time in a while, it felt like it already was full.
Sarah Dessen
I think readers are just looking for things that maybe they recognize or can relate to in the books.
Sarah Dessen
When you can't save yourself or your heart, it helps to be able to save face.
Sarah Dessen
Rogerson, I asked him sweetly as we sat watching a video in the pool house, where would I find the pelagic zone? In the open sea, he said. Now shut up and eat your Junior Mints.
