E. Lockhart Quote: “The counselor also suggested meditation. Finding a bit of time each day to focus on deep breathing and the acceptance of life as it was presently occurring. That was not a productive solution either. Frankie did not accept life as it was presently occurring. It was a fundamental element of her character. Life as it was presently occurring was not acceptable to her. Were she to mellow out – would she not become obedient? Would she not stay on the path that stretched ahead of her, nicely bricked?”
E. Lockhart Quote: “You better live this life of yours while you can – real living, the kind where you get a little dirt on your halo – ’cause, babe, not one of us knows how long we got.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “There was nothing I could say in retaliation except something that would confuse her.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can’t see who you are.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It really bothers me how in books it seems like the only two choices are perfection or self-hatred.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “My problem is I can think whatever I think – girl power, solidarity, Gloria Steinem rah rah rah – but I still feel the way I feel. Which is jealous. And pissy about little things.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Immie put on her sunglasses. “Forrest’s writing a novel.” “What kind of novel?” asked Jule. “A little Samuel Beckett meets Hunter S. Thompson,” said Forrest. “And I’m a big fan of Pynchon, so he’s an influence.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “The woman pushed up the arms of her long-sleeved shirt and turned to the digital readout of her treadmill. A scar wound down her right forearm, jagged, like from a knife, not clean like from an operation. There was a story there.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “You are my girlfriend,” whispered Matthew. ” You’re my girl and I’m your guy, and you’re my girl and I’m your guy. Let’s not fight.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Isaac liked me because I was ignorant and that meant he could teach me, right? That made him feel like a man.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Singin’ in the Rain was most excellent if you like movies where people burst into song and tap-dance. Which I do, though not as much as I like movies where people don’t.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I think an inspirational quote can get you through hard times.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I love the idea of the big life – the life that matters, the life that makes a difference. The life where stuff happens, where people take action. The opposite of the life where the girl can’t even speak to the boy she likes; the opposite of the life where the friends aren’t even good friends, and lots of days are wasted away feeling bored and kind of okay, like nothing matters much.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I never got an explanation. I just know he left me.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “So I was a monster, she thought. At least I wasn’t someone’s little sister, someone’s girlfriend, some sophomore, some girl – someone whose opinions don’t matter.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “People with money love Gershwin.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It was part of their mission as a secret society – as it is part of the mission of most secret societies, actually – to not be entirely secret.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “You think it’s normal to get what you want all the time,” said Jule. “For things to be easy. But it isn’t. Most people don’t get what they want, like, ever. They have doors shut in their faces. They have to strive, all the time. They don’t live in your magical land of two-seater cars and perfect teeth and traveling to Italy and fur coats.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “So she did not replay, but played the strategist. She retained more power by withholding an answer.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “They were paragons of self-sacrificing womanhood. Like, ‘I’m starving to death! Here, eat my only bakery bun!’ ‘I can’t walk, I’m paralyzed, but still I see the bright side of life, happy happy!’ A Little Princess and Pollyanna, let me tell you, they are selling you a pack of ugly lies.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I grew up with very normal, stable people,” Brooke continued. “We acted normal all day long in my family. So normal I wanted to stab my eyes out. So I’m like an expert. And you? You are not normal. You should think about getting help for it, is what I’m saying.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Lots of girls don’t notice when they are in this situation. They are so focused on their boyfriends that they don’t remember they had a life at all before their romances, so they don’t become upset that the boyfriend isn’t interested.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Sometimes things are fragile. That’s why they’re valuable.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I don’t even have my real face anymore, I don’t even know who I see in the mirror.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Yeah.” Gat was silent for a moment. “Do you believe in God?” “Halfway.” I tried to think about it seriously. I knew Gat wouldn’t settle for a flippant answer. “When things are bad, I’ll pray or imagine someone watching over me, listening. Like the first few days after my dad left, I thought about God. For protection. But the rest of the time, I’m trudging along in my everyday life. It’s not even slightly spiritual.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Grandad’s voice boomed across the yard. ‘This is the United States of America,’ he said. ‘You don’t seem to understand that, Penny, so let me explain. In America, here is how we operate. We work for what we want, and we get ahead. We never take no for an answer, and we deserve the rewards of our perseverance... We Sinclairs are a grand, old family. That is something to be proud of. Our traditions and values form the bedrock on which future generations stand.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Think of your happy memories. Know they are still in you. They are part of you. And maybe even they ARE you.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Now that I am grown, I think don’t take no for an answer is a lesson we teach boys who would be better off learning that no means no.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “We burned not a home, but a symbol. We burned a symbol to the ground.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “They want you to be small and silent. Good was just another word for don’t fight back.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I do not love my father’s way of thinking, but much of it has become mine.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It’s joy,’ said Tipper. ‘I aim to live a joyful life, Carrie. And I think you should, too. I think maybe you’ve lost track of that, a little.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “We were warm and shivering, and young and ancient, and alive.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “ME, JOHNNY, MIRREN, and Gat. Gat, Mirren, Johnny, and me. The family calls us four the Liars, and probably we deserve it.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It’s better, I think, to move on. To look forward.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “She would love herself, even with her sadness and her distractibility, her defenses and her failures. The process of making would stretch open the universe until it was frighteningly and gloriously wide with possibility.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Do you understand, Cady? Silence is a protective coating over pain.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Telling this story will be painful. In fact, I do not know if I can tell it truthfully, though I’ll try. I have been a liar all my life, you see. It’s not uncommon in our family.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I’ll tell you what I don’t want at my funeral,” says Johnny. “I don’t want a bunch of New York art-world types who don’t even know me standing around in a stupid-ass reception room.” “I don’t want religious people talking about a God I don’t believe in,” says Gat. “Or a bunch of fake girls acting all sad and then putting lip gloss on in the bathroom and fixing their hair,” says Mirren.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Here is something I love about Gat: he is so enthusiastic, so relentlessly interested in the world, that he has trouble imagining the possibility that other people will be bored by what he’s saying. Even when they tell him outright. But also, he doesn’t like to let us off easy. He wants to make us think – even when we don’t feel like thinking.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “A game like that is typical for Tipper. She looks for ways to squeeze any last drop of pleasure from a situation, to create joy and surprise whenever she can.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “Johnny leapt off the boat and threw his own vest on the dock. First thing, he ran up to Mirren and kicked her. Then he kicked me. Kicked the twins. Walked over to our grandparents and stood up straight. “Good to see you, Granny and Granddad. I look forward to a happy summer.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It’s a tiny box, Mirren. Me and Mummy. Me and my pills. Me and my pain. I don’t want to live there anymore.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “I’m not sorry. For anything. At all.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “It doesn’t matter if one of us is desperately, desperately in love. So much in love, that equally desperate measures must be taken.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “This is the only time I will ever tell, I say to myself.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “For a moment, the two of us were alone on the planet, with all the vastness of the sky and the future and the past spreading out around us.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “What a lovely way to burn.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “At least for today. Let’s pretend I’m not a mess, let’s pretend you’re not angry. Let’s act like we’re friends and forget what happened.”
E. Lockhart Quote: “My boyfriend is named Percocet,” I say. “We’re very close. I even went to Europe with him last summer.”
