More quotes by Sarah Dessen
I'm incredibly flattered when people tell me that my books helped them through high school. Because of my own experience, the thought that something I wrote might help someone who felt the way I did when I was a teen...that's huge. It awes me.

So while it seemed like you were seeing everything, you really weren't. Just bits and pieces that looked like a whole.

If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!

It doesn't matter, anyway, why you like me. Just that you do.
Sarah Dessen
I bet you can't eat ten bananas! I bet you're right.
Sarah Dessen
You can never be sure of anyone until you're close enough to see them clearly.
Sarah Dessen
You don't have to make things harder then they have to be just to prove a point.
Sarah Dessen
I think if you're going to show a true representation of any one life, it can't be about any one thing. I try to see more of a full picture, with the romance just a single part.
Sarah Dessen
Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear.
Sarah Dessen
Rogerson, I asked him sweetly as we sat watching a video in the pool house, where would I find the pelagic zone? In the open sea, he said. Now shut up and eat your Junior Mints.
Sarah Dessen
During this time we've been apart, it's you I've thought of when I'm at my weakest, and you who have pulled me through.
Sarah Dessen
I think as a writer one of the benefits is that you can put things that you're interested in into your books. I always have put a lot of food and restaurants because I was a waitress and I love to eat.
Sarah Dessen
In the end, though, maybe it's not how you reach a place that matters. Just that you get there at all.
