Text Quotes
Do you ever dangle your toes over the precipice, dare the cliff to crumble, defy the frozen deity to suffer the sun, thaw feather and bone, take wing to fly you home?  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) I whisper and you close your eyes. I speak and you turn away. If I scream, will you finally hear me beg you to hold me close to you, promise you’ll never let go?  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) She’s incredible, not that she’s perfect. But you once said imperfections create character  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) It wasn’t my first kiss, maybe it wasn’t my best kiss, but it was pretty fine, and the fact that he had asked will forever make that kiss stand out in my mind, touch my heart, make me remember a kiss so tender it made me cry  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) ... life is all about chances. You might be safer not taking any. But playing it totally safe means you’re only existing. Not living. I want to live  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) The problem with falling in love is falling back out of it again, usually because you’ve fallen in love with a lie. That happens as often as not  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) And if candor strikes to forcefully, step back, draw careful breath, and consider the angle your words must take before you open your mouth, let them leak out. Because once you tilt the truth, it becomes a lie  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Living means taking chances. Risks. Playing safe all the time is being dead inside, even if you happen to still be breathing  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Back turned, you don’t have to look at what you’ve left behind. And the first person who turned their back on you can’t watch you break down and cry  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Alone everything changes. Some might call it distorted reality but it’s exactly the place I need to be  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) The first time I kissed you. One kiss, and I was totally hooked. Addicted to you. I could never love anyone the way I love you. I’d follow you across the universe  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Whatever has happened in someone’s past, the future is theirs to shape. The first step is to find a way out  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) ... Things happened when you were little. Things you don’t remember now, and don’t want to. But they need to escape, need to worm their way out of that dark place in your brain where you keep them stashed  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) I hide hurt behind a fake smile. I wear it all the time. Everyone says how I always look so cheerful. Shows what they know I guess  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) The truth is, I’ve always been afraid of letting anyone get too close. I built a wall around me, a barricade to hide behind those few times someone wanted entry to my heart  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) In control. Out of control. Sometimes they’re the same thing. The trick is knowing that, realizing it’s okay to feel out of control once in a while, as long as you’re sure you can regain the upper hand when you absolutely need to  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) This time when we kiss, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel it in my heart. And I realize love isn’t about sex. It’s about connection  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) What’s the point of being a hero when everyone thinks you’re a villain?  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Eventually, it becomes a matter of scale. When the good outweighs the bad, you stay. When the bad is the only thing you notice anymore, you think about your future, or what’s left of it, consider options  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, from the event that inspired it, hoping for a white one, to wrapping presents. But mostly I love having family and friends gathered, and sharing traditions  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) The wind kicks in stronger, branches clatter. Or maybe skeletons. Bones of abandonment. Ghosts that will never be  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Nonfiction speaks to the head. Fiction speaks to the heart. Poetry speaks to the soul. It’s the essence of beauty. The essence of pain. It pleases the eye and the ear  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) Have you ever had so much to say that your mouth closed up tight struggling to harness the nuclear force coalescing within your words? Have you ever had so many thoughts churning inside you that you didn’t dare let them escape in case they blew you wide open? Have you ever been so angry that you couldn’t look in the mirror for fear of finding the face of evil glaring back at you?  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) They think old people are lame. But they’re not. They’re awesome, and I know exactly why I think so. It’s because they’ve lived entire lifetimes. Loved. Laughed. Surrendered. Stumbled. Weathered, beaten, still they don’t crumble, not even as they inch toward death  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) If I come back to you now, can we be what we were before life’s uncertain rhythms tore us so far apart? If I return today, will your arms gather me in, or will I be wrenched away, snatched by riptide I have no power to resist? If I find my way to you, one man standing in a crowd, will I even know who you are?  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) He has built a pedestal for her so tall that she is afraid to be lifted atop it, because to fall would mean certain death. But oh, she would rise far, far beyond fear and be held by arms so strong, and love so pure, that falling would not be an option  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) When I was little, my friends would gush over wedding gowns and honeymoons. But I saw too many people flush decades together down the toilet over money or kids or meaningless flings. My own parents chose to stay married, which I think is rather funny, since they show about as much affection for each other as pit bulls in a ring. Tying the knot means slipping a noose around love and choking it to death  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes) I know he did horrible things in the jungle. Things no amount of alcohol or pills could erase. War stains soldiers, all the way through their psyches, into their souls. I understand that, and could almost forgive him for taking his own life, to quiet the ghosts. But I can never forgive him for taking my mother with him  (Ellen Hopkins Quotes)
