I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.
Sarah Dessen
But something, somehow, had made all these paths converge. You couldn't find it on a checklist, or work it into the equation. It just happened.
Sarah Dessen
It was becoming clear to me that I shouldn't bother to get too attached to anything. Turn your back and you lose it. Just like that.
Sarah Dessen
The world is speaking to you every day, you just don't know how to listen.
Sarah Dessen
We were willing to do so much for the people we loved, even if it meant hurting ourselves. Maybe that, in the end, was what love- all kinds- was really about.
Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen
Told you. Everything sounds better in the car wash.
Sarah Dessen
So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.
Sarah Dessen
My books are so tame!
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
Being brave and self-confident doesn't necessarily start inside...It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you.
Sarah Dessen
If this was my instinct talking, I didn‟t want to hear what it was saying.
Sarah Dessen
It was like that part of my life, was just gone. It was almost too easy, for something I once thought had meant everything.
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.
Sarah Dessen
She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you would never know.
Sarah Dessen
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.
Sarah Dessen
Your past is always your past. Even if you forget it, it remembers you.
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
Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.
Sarah Dessen
I didn't want to talk about what happened, so it seemed safest not to talk at all.
Sarah Dessen
