Just because someone's pretty, doesn't mean she's decent.
Sarah Dessen
Writing a novel is like childbirth: once you realize how awful it really is, you never want to do it again.

Sarah Dessen
You didn't have to take a punch for me, you know,' he said. 'I'm a lover, not a fighter.' 'You're a freak is what you are,' I said.
Sarah Dessen
What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed there, regardless.
Sarah Dessen
The only thing I can't stand more than seeing something done wrong is seeing it done slowly.
Sarah Dessen
The lizard stared up at us, and we stared back, taking each other in. He was little and defenseless, I felt sorry for him already. This was a screwed-up place he'd just come into. But he didn't have to know that. Not yet, anyway. There in that room, where it was hot and cramped, the world probably still seemed small enough to manage.
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
You can't act like you care about someone but not let them care about you.
