More quotes by Sarah Dessen
People don't change. If anything, you get more set in your ways as you get older, not less
Sarah Dessen
The basic fact is that no, this isn't ideal. Very few things are. Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history. Give fate a push,so to speak.
Sarah Dessen
But all I could think of was how when nothing made sense and hadn't for ages, you just have to grab onto anything you feel sure of.
Sarah Dessen
I don't think anyone would think that an ellipsis represents doubt or anything. I think it's more, you know, hinting at the future. What lies ahead.
Sarah Dessen
It's always very pure, that last moment before an ugly, unsettling truth hits someone. The most stark of before-and-afters.

The worst part was that I had things I wanted to tell my mother, too many to count, but none of them would go down so easy. She'd been through too much, between my siters-I could not add to the weight. So instead, I did my best to balance it out, bit by bit, word by word, story by story, even if none of them were true.

Because anyone that can make you feel that bad about yourself is toxic.
Sarah Dessen
But unfriendly is usually one of those things you pick up on right away. You know, like B.O. There's no hiding it if it's there.
Sarah Dessen
I was born in 1970 in Illinois, but all the life I remember I've spent in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Sarah Dessen
The silence wasn't like the ones I'd known lately, though: it wasn't empty as much as chosen. There's a entirely different feel to quiet when you're with some-one else, and at any moment it could be broken. Like the difference between a pause and an ending.
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
Told you. Everything sounds better in the car wash.
Sarah Dessen
I've seen what commitment leads to. Going in is the easy part. It's the ending that sucks! -Remy
Sarah Dessen
But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future.
Sarah Dessen
Of course it hurts, she grumbled, tipping my head further back. Life sucks. Get over it
Sarah Dessen
I'm really interested in the idea of anomynity and familiarity. And sunglasses, you know, are so indicatitve of that. I mean, they're worn by some people to hide themselves. But they're also a fashion statement, meant to be noticed. So there's a dichotomy there.
Sarah Dessen
But risk is just part of relationships. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Sarah Dessen
What, I said, is that a crime here or something? Like only buying one thing at the Gas/Gro?
Sarah Dessen
Like I, of all people, didn't know better than to lead a total stranger to the point where they could hurt me most, knowing how easily they'd be able to find their way back to it.
