I'm bored, so here's some random quotes from books I've read (I keep a notebook of them.) that I really like....

“Risks. That’s living. Being too scared to try it—that’s just a waste. I can say I made a lot of mistakes, but I don’t regret things. Because at least I didn’t spend a life standing outside, wondering what living would be like.” –This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen (I met her!!!)



“I’m flying but a lot of people end up dead inside. You can’t tell to look at them but as soon as they open their moths you know they’ve lost it. They got murdred by life.” –Smack by Melvin Burgess



“I think change is something that starts out small, before you notice it. Then out of nowhere it kicks your ass and makes you pay attention.” –Bottled Up by Jaye Murray



“I’ve totally reserved my attitude about quitting by the way. For me, quitting isn’t a sign of weakness. The weak thing to do would’ve been to keep on running, keep on writing. It takes a bigger set of balls to do the exact opposite of what everyone expects me to do.” –Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty



“ ‘Your life isn’t a movie,’ I said, more to myself than to him. ‘You’re not that important.’ “ –Prep by Jake Coburn



“So you want to know all

About me. Who

I am.

What chance meeting of

Brush and canvas painted

the face

you see? What made

me despise the girl

in the mirrior

enough to transform her,

turn her into a stranger

only not.

So you want to hear

the whole story. Why

I swerved

off the high road

hard left to nowhere,

recklessly

indifferent to those

coughing in my dust,

picked up speed

no limits, no top end,

just a high veolocity rush

to madness.” –Crank idk who this is by but it was REALLY good.



“His idea of love sure didn’t mesh with mine. ‘I love you, let’s see other people.’ Interesting sentence structure.” –Crank



“They were growing up. It was inevitable and Tibby had learned enough this summer not to stand in its way. There were boyfriends and families and big plans burning just ahead of them. But please, God, she couldn’t do it if it was a trade-in. She couldn’t strike the bargain if growing up meant drowning out the friendship that stood at the very center of her life, the thing that gave her strength and balance.” –Girls in Pants by Ann Brashare
