More quotes by Sarah Dessen
But against love, the case was solid. Easily argued. And you could, indeed, hold it in your hand.

In midair, dangling lost above the world.

I wondered again why the right thing always seemed to be met with so much resistance, when you'd think it would be the easier path. You had to fight to be virtuous.

Your past is always your past. Even if you forget it, it remembers you.

I think having a good agent is key. I've been with mine for ten years now, and she's very honest with me. There are a lot of times I've sent her books that were not so good because I was tired of writing, or panicked about money, and she's told me flat out, You don't want this to be your next book. Trust me.

Sarah Dessen
I wondered if it was really because he cared about me, or if now I was just another challenge.
