If this was my forever, I wouldn't want to spend it here.
Sarah Dessen
Your actions is like a raindrop it falls into the pond making ripples and then its over.
Sarah Dessen
You don't have to make things harder then they have to be just to prove a point.
Sarah Dessen
You can't just turn your heart off like a faucet you have to go to the source and dry it out, drop by drop.
Sarah Dessen
It's funny how two people can grow up in the same town, go to the same school, have the same friends, and end up so totally different. Family, or lack of it, counts for more than you'd think.

This thought was interrupted, suddenly, by a crash from the front entrance. We all looked over just in time to see Adam bending back from the glass, rubbing his arm. Pull open, Maggie called out. As Leah rolled her eyes, she said, He never remembers. It's so weird.

Morning would come before we knew it. It always did. But we still had the night, and for now, we were together, so I just closed my eyes and drank it all in.
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.
Sarah Dessen
I think I'm way too much of a control freak to co-author anything with anyone. I have a hard enough time writing with myself! I admire people that can do it, but it's not for me.
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
As I rolled over, stretching out, my only thought was to go back to the dream I'd been having, which I couldn't remember, other than that it had been good, in that distant, hopeful way unreal things can be.
Sarah Dessen
Never would forever, with all its meanings, be so clear and distinct as in the true, guaranteed end of the world.
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
I thought of all the times we'd been together, how I kept coming closer, then retreating, while he stayed right where he was. A constant in a world where few, if any, really existed.
Sarah Dessen
Whether it was a song, a person, or a story, there was a lot you couldn’t know from just an excerpt, a glance, or part of a chorus.
Sarah Dessen
I wondered again why the right thing always seemed to be met with so much resistance, when you'd think it would be the easier path. You had to fight to be virtuous.
Sarah Dessen
I've given lots of people chances. But there's only so much faith you can have in people.
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
But all the love in the world won't save a sinking ship. You have to either bail or jump overboard.
Sarah Dessen
Everything, in the end, comes down to timing. One second, one minute, one hour could make all the difference.
