More quotes by 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.

With my mom, when someone was gone, they were gone. She didn't waste another minute thinking about them, and neither should you.
Sarah Dessen
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
It's never long distance between friends.
Sarah Dessen
The worst thing you can do if you miss or need someone is let them know it.
Sarah Dessen
I've given lots of people chances. But there's only so much faith you can have in people.
Sarah Dessen
But even more so, it reminded me that this was all really happening. Stanford. The end of the summer. The beginning of my real life. It was no longer just creeping up, peeking over the horizon, but instead lingering in plain sight.
Sarah Dessen
Accepting all the good and bad about someone. It's a great thing to aspire to. The hard part is actually doing 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
Because you have to just go with the flow. Your life is not your own, with people coming in and out all the time. You get mellow because you have to.
Sarah Dessen
If this was my instinct talking, I didn‟t want to hear what it was saying.
