When he stopped walking and kissed me a few minutes later, it was like time had stopped, with the air, my heart, and the world all so still. And it was this I remembered every other time I was with Marshall.

It’s never something huge that changes the everything, but instead the tiniest of details, irrevocably tweaking the balance of the universe while you’re busy focusing on the big picture.
Sarah Dessen
As if at the age of eighteen life already sucked beyond any hope of improvement.

With love like that, you can't get pick about how it finds you or the details. All that matters is that it's there. Better late than never.
Sarah Dessen
Some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic.

its been a long night aren't they all?
Sarah Dessen
I thought of all the times we'd been together, how I kept coming closer, then retreating, while he stayed right where he was. A constant in a world where few, if any, really existed.
Sarah Dessen
So much had happened that morning. Yet it was this image, this moment, that i kept going back to hours later, after we'd made it safely to the walkway and gone our separate ways to classes. How it felt to have the world moving beneath me, a hand gripping mine, knowing if i fell, at least i wouldn't do it alone.

I don't believe in failure, because simply by saying you've failed, you've admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them.

There's this other half of him I don't know of, it's like he is trying to keep it a secret... if he would just let me inside so I can help.

Obviously it won't all run smoothly. But it's important to awknowledge that while we may make mistakes, in the long run, we may also learn fromt them.

Wes wants to be with Macy. And Macy, whether she'll admit it or not, wants to be with Wes. And yet they're not together, which is not only unjust, but when you think about it, tragical!

And to know me, as you have discovered, is to love me.

Morris was not the type to offer a hug or even hold your hand. But there was something in his quiet indignation at the universe then--and Luke, now--that was just the kind of comfort I needed. I'm such a mess, I said. We're almost off the island and I didn't even ask you where you were going. He shrugged. No place. Wherever you are.

I wasn't very happy in high school: it was a confusing and sort of sad time for me.

I think whenever a writer is really enjoying themselves and liking what they are doing, that shows on the page.

But I saw Blake earlier and he said he and Nate were taking off for an overnight business thing. So... ... you're just going to jump their fence and their pool, I finished for her. Silence. Then Jamie said, It's twenty-five degrees! In December! Do you know what this means? The apocalypse?

It's harder that in looks, I told him when I finally got back in the car. Most things are.
Sarah Dessen
I don't know. Just because someone's pretty doesn't mean she's decent. Or vice versa. I'm not into appearances. I like flaws, I think they make things interesting.
Sarah Dessen
Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.
Sarah Dessen
The past did affect the present and the future, in ways you could see and a million ones you couldn't. Time wasn't a thing you could divide easily there was no defined middle or beginning or end. I could pretend to leave the past behind, but it would not leave me.
