There was something so heavy about the burden of history, of the past. I wasn't sure I had it in me to keep looking back.
Sarah Dessen
It was so weird, because usually I was totally nervous talking to guys. But Eli was different. He made me want to say more, not less. Which was maybe not a good thing.
Sarah Dessen
See for me, it’s immediate. Silence is so freaking loud.' This seemed either deep or deeply oxymoronic. I wasn’t sure which.

Accepting all the good and bad about someone. It's a great thing to aspire to. The hard part is actually doing it.

Fifteen minutes later, a meeting was called. Okay, look. Deb's face was dead serious. I know I just joined this project, and I don't want to offend anyone. But I'm going to be honest. I think you've been going about this all wrong. I'm offended, Dave told her flatly.
Sarah Dessen
You can't make any one person your world. The trick is to take what each can give you and build a world from 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
The thing is I'm a great believer in the perfect moment. They don't come around that often.
Sarah Dessen
Maybe marriage, like life, is'nt only about the big moments, whether they be good or bad. Maybe it's all the small things — like being guided slowly forward, surely, day after day — that stretches out to strengthen even the most tenuous bond.
Sarah Dessen
I knew that it wouldn’t last. It was just a moment, a perfect moment, as time stood still and fleetingly everything fell back into its proper place.
Sarah Dessen
It's harder that in looks, I told him when I finally got back in the car. Most things are.
Sarah Dessen

I think having a good agent is key. I've been with mine for ten years now, and she's very honest with me.

Trust me.
