No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.- Francois Mauriac

when you love someplace.someone.something so much that you miss it. then before it.their gone, you're in love.

the glorious sunset of my heart was fading...

The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

"In The World Of Friendship, I'm awful" ~pg4

"Imagine a guy.He's taller than you, with perfect skin, skin that just screams "touch me!" and dark hair and gorgeous blue eyes and he looks so sweet and he is sweet. And then have him blush a little." ~pg16

""It was fun," Ryan says, which is a nice thing to say, a him thing to say, but when I look at him, one more look before he goes back to the party, to my best friend, he's looking at me like-
Well, like he wants to look at me. Like he likes what he sees, and he's smiling and his eyes are so blue, even in the faint glow of the porch light they shine, and I nod dumbly, blindly, and then grope for the door handle, telling myself to look away and yet not able to do it.
"Sarah," he says, softly, almost hesitantly, and mmy heart slam-bangs, beating hard, and this is what its like to want someone you cant have. To want someone you shouldn't even be looking at." ~pg36

"How does the eye shadow look?"
"Gorgeous," I say, and stand up, look at myself in the mirror. "How about me? How do I look?"
"Like Sarah," she says, and comes and stands behind me, hugging me and grinning at our reflection. "Like my best friend."
Not gorgeous. Not even pretty. I look like myself, whatever that means.
I know what it means, its nothing good. Its Ordinary. Boring.
Alone." ~pg65

"I wonder if there are sisters out there where one feels like she's a shadow of the other. If there's a girl with a sister who sometimes makes her feel like nothing." ~pg68

"In every breath I take there is the promise of his skin touching mine and i want that." ~pg82

"It was like we were all so busy trying to be happy or saying we are happy, but underneath there was nothing but bitterness, the kind that could only be bled out in ink, in unspoken words." ~pg100

"I am broken, I have cut myself wide open. I can see my heart and it is not what I believed it was, it is not good and kind and all the things I have always thought I am." ~pg116

"Right now, I hate My life way more than I hate me." ~pg122

"I think having a stupid heart is pretty damn painful, even if the pain isn't physical." ~pg132

"I need a cause to believe in. Something to fill the space in my heart that Ryan has written all over. Something noble, like fighting a disease." ~pg134

"I'm not that happy now, But I'll fake it until its real and things are normal again." ~pg135

"Do you ever wonder if people really know what they're supposed to do? Os there a moment where you just know what you're supposed to do forever?" ~pg138

"I've been taught that love is beautiful and kind, but it isn't like that at all. It is beautiful, but its a terrible beauty, a ruthless one, and you fall- you fall, and the thing is-
the thing is you want to. You don't care whats coming, you just want who your heart beats for." ~pg158

"Guilt and panic are making a mess of my insides. Of me." ~pg174

""Sometimes... sometimes you have to let people go," She says. "Brianna loves you, Sarah, but I don't think she was always a good friend to you."" ~pg200

"All the things I've thought about love are true. Its beautiful and terrible and it doesn't make things perfect. It ends things, and it brings beginnings." ~pg210

The Average heart beats about 43 hundred times an hour, that's 800 thousand times a week, 9 million times in a crisp fall and 2.7 billion beats in a lifetime. Well What is an Average heart anyway? And how many beats do broken hearts get?

"I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside. "
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

If I had to choose between being a heart or a brain I'd definitely choose a heart because at least you'd do something. If you're a brain, at the end of the day all you're really at is settling for shitty situations.

Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Captain Wentworth's Diary

"Why is it that men call info about their neighbors - people they know, and are therefor interested in tattle, but call info about people they do not know, have never met, and never will meet, news, but pit it in the news paper for everyone to read!" - captain wentworths diary by amanda grange

"It's truly weird how everyone just thinks they can bring me Diet Coke and everything will be okay. Especially since it's pretty much true.-Lizzie Nichols" — Meg Cabot (Queen of Babble Gets Hitched)

wearing spanx

"I just want to let you know that when I look into my future, I see nothing but you.” That’s what Chaz had whispered in my ear at some point during the wedding last night. Then he’d whispered. “And you’re not even wearing Spanx." — Meg Cabot

forever princess

"But as you age, you lose other, even more important things, like friends-hopefully only bad friends, who maybe weren't as good for you as you once thought. With luck, you'll be able to hang on to your true friends, the ones who were always there for you....even when you thought they weren't. Because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world" " — Meg Cabot (Forever Princess) tags: journal, princess

"Well," I said. "I could strip off my clothes and reveal to you that under my jeans and sweatshirt I'm actually wearing a tank top and short-shorts, much like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider... only mine are flame-retardant and covered in glow-in-the-dark dinosaur stickers." No one stirred. Not even Christopher, who actually has a thing for Lara Croft. "I know what you're thinking," I went on. "Glow-in-the-dark dinosaur stickers are SO last year. But I think they add a certain je ne sais quoi to the whole ensemble. It's true, short-shorts are uncomfortable under jeans and hard to get off in the ladies' room, but they make the twin thigh-holsters in which I hold my high-caliber pistols so easy to get to...." The oven timer dinged. "Thank you, Em," Mr. Greer said, yawning. "That was very persuasive." — Meg Cabot (Airhead)

"Someday you're really going to have to describe to me in more detail what life is like on the planet you live on. Because it sounds really great, and I'd like to visit there one day." — Meg Cabot (Queen of Babble in the Big City)

"Intentions don't matter. Its the end result were all judged by. Evil in the name of good is still evil. And when you dance with the devil you seldom get to pick the tune " Intinity, sherrilyn kenyon pg 372

"Like the stars, fading with the halo of the vanishing moon. Like the ocean, falling and whispering against the shore. Nothing ever really goes away - it just changes into something else. Something Beautiful."
-pg 289, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

"There was nothing left to see. It happened and it was impossible and beautiful and then it ended before it really began, leaving nothing behind but secrets and broken hearts."
-pg267, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

"There's not much anger left between us, just a great divide - like best friends in high school who go to different colleges, lose touch, and move on parallel lives that never cross until years later, in a random bar or grocery store, and after a brief hug and five minutes of small talk, they both realize that the threads that connected them so long ago have frayed and blown away, leaving nothing to discuss."
-pg259, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

"Everything that came before that night was a pale moon behind the sunshine of that kiss."
~pg209, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

The lifelong keeper of broken-hearted secrets
~pg208, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

"When it happens, youre totally unprepared, fragmented and lost, looking fir the hidden meaning in everything. Ive replayed the events of that day a hundred thousand times, looking for clues. An alternate ending. The butterfly effect."
~pg88, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

"When someone you love dies, people ask you how you are doing, but they don't really want to know. They seek affirmation that you're okay, that you appreciate their concern, that life goes on and so can they. Secretly they wonder when the statute of limitations on asking expires (its three months, by the way. Written or unwritten, ts about all the time it takes for people to forget the one thing that you never will."
~pg73-74, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

"She looks at me with such compassion that for one second I forgot shes my mother and think she might actually know, like I wear my feelings in big words across my face and all she has to do i brush aside my hair to read them"
~pg 50, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

"Weeping is different from crying. It takes your whole body to weep, and when its over you feel like you don't have any bones left to hold you up."
~pg 28, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

" I censored every look i gave him, every word, every touch, certain that I'd mess up and someone would find out....
To our parents, we were the same best friends as always, innocent and inseparable. whenever we could steal a few minutes alone, that's when we became the"other," charged-up thing that kept me up at night, afraid of falling so fast, afraid of losing, afraid it wouldn't last once Frankie found out."
~pg 14-15, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

"Matt grabbed my hand and pulled me in tight for another kiss, his other hand on my cheek, quick and intense. He pressed his body against mine in the same configuration of hip bones, stomachs, and ribs as the first time. i pressed back, wanting to wrap myself around him, anchor myself to him. it was all that kept me from floating away like a tiny, iridescent bubble."
~pg 8, Twenty Boy summer by Sarah Ockler

"Yours is the first face that I saw..I think I was blind before I met you..Now I don’t know where I am..I don’t know where I’ve been..But I know where I want to go"

Trying to keep the sad away, but it's eating me alive.
~Christine Sharp
