But the original was there as well—more jaded and rudimentary, functional rather than romantic. It fit not just the yellow house but another door, deep within my own heart. One that had been locked so tight for so long that I was afraid to even try it for fear of what might be on the other side

What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So dont be afraid. Be alive.

This was just one night, one chance to vary and see where it took me. The fireflies were probably already out: maybe it wasn’t just a season or a time but a whole world I’d forgotten. I’d never know until I stepped out into it. So I did.
Sarah Dessen
...You can't unlearn something, even if you want to. You know what you know.
Sarah Dessen
When you don't know where you're going, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to have more than you need.
Sarah Dessen
But those words were only the middle of the story. There was a beginning here, too.
Sarah Dessen
Once, I was easy. Now, I was choosy. See? Big difference.
Sarah Dessen
I've given lots of people chances. But there's only so much faith you can have in people.

It's hard to be nice when the rest of the world is so mean.
Sarah Dessen
Needing was so easy: it came naturally, like breathing. Being needed by someone else, though, that was the hard part. But as with giving help and accepting it, we had to do both to be made complete-like links overlapping to form a chain, or a lock finding the right key.
