Books Quotes
I had to stop my head from taking over my life and learn to take things one day at a time.
My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world.
Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
I don’t see the point in pretending to be something other than what you are, because if you do, at some point you’re going to have to reveal your true self, and if it’s completely different they’re going to run off screaming. But perhaps I’m learning to hold back a little bit, perhaps that’s why this isn’t hurting so much, or perhaps it’s because he wasn’t, isn’t ‘The One’ and although was starting to like him more and more, I suppose deep down I knew I couldn’t live his life, and that’s why I’m really feeling okay.

Spygirl by Amy Gray

Being young enough not to know what comes next – what comes after cute little animals and a fun day with Spot, when the letters got smaller and the words usually had a double and darker meaning, when you realize that everything can do more than sting.

And there’s Cameron, my brother, dying like Hell to please you and treat you right. He would, too, you know. He’d bleed for you and fight for you without his fists. He’d take care of you and have respect for you and he’d love the Hell out of you.
