You bought me some forks. And knives. And spoons. Because you love me!
Sarah Dessen
The thing is, you can’t always have the best of everything. Because for a life to be real, you need it all: good and bad, beach and concrete, the familiar and the unknown, big talkers and small towns.

You know, I think I knew you for about three weeks before I ever really saw you smile. And then one day, Morgan said something and you laughed, and I remember thinking it was really cool because it meant something. You're not the kind of person who smiles for nothing, Colie. I have to earn every one.

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!
Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen
Are you crazy? Flirting with Eli Stock in front of Belissa Norwood, in Belissa Norwood’s house, while eating Belissa Norwood’s cupcakes?
Sarah Dessen
Of course it hurts, she grumbled, tipping my head further back. Life sucks. Get over it
Sarah Dessen
So I just decided to relax into it, bumpy and crazy as it might be, and try for once to just go along for the ride.
Sarah Dessen
How do you even begin to return to someone, much less convince them to do the same for you? I had no idea. More than ever, though, right then I had to believe the answer would just come to me.
Sarah Dessen
You didn't fail. You just opted out. There's a difference.
Sarah Dessen
People don't change. If anything, you get more set in your ways as you get older, not less
Sarah Dessen
But risk is just part of relationships. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
Sarah Dessen
You get what you give, but also what you're willing to take.
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 looked down again at the sign in my hand - ENJOY THE RIDE! - and it seemed, suddenly, to be just that. A sign.
Sarah Dessen
It takes so little to change everything. If you really thought about it, it would scare you to death.
