1 " Our goodness, our badness all develop from social experience, the company we keep, the things we're taught when we're young. We start with a clean slate. It's everyone else who fucks us up. "
― S. Walden
2 " Everyone’s pain is different,” Reece went on. “I don’t like when people compare. I don’t like when people marginalize their feelings because they think they’re not allowed to have them. Someone will always have a tougher go than you. Does that mean you’re not allowed to feel hurt? To be sad? "
― S. Walden , LoveLines (The Wilmington Saga, #1)
3 " People take advantage of good people. That's what I mean. So don't be a sucker. "
― S. Walden , Going Under
4 " That’s the great thing about hope—no matter your past, no matter your mistakes, hope is the constant force in your heart driving you forward. You fall down. You cry about it for a little while. And then you stand up again. You push forward. You never give up because you believe something good will come. I’m lonely now, but something good will come.Hope is my one healthy compulsion. "
5 " First, I like how the ice cream won out. Second, we’re not having sex. "

6 " How can he not have any friends? He's so cute. "
7 " Brooke, why don't we talk about you instead? You seem much more interesting." I started feeling frustrated. "I'm sure that's not true. Why are you so mysterious? "
8 " Fuck the world. Do what you feel is right, and you have every right to love whomever you want. "
9 " I’m talking about the kind of indignity that changes you as a person, makes you withdraw, hide from the world because suddenly it’s turned into something frightening—full of dark corners and monsters. "
10 " It was decided. I was going to let Ryan Foster do me. I had no idea when it would happen, but it was inevitable. If he kept being this cute, it was inevitable. "
11 " Love comes in all kinds of packages. Some are neatly tied up, and some are messy. It doesn't mean that the messy ones aren't every bit as good. "
12 " I realized I needed to look at evil in an entirely new light. Most bad guys weren’t running around with eyes bugged out. Most bad guys didn’t come across freaky and frightening…Most bad guys were normal, everyday guys moving through life like anyone else… They were hard to spot and that’s what made them so good at being bad… They could get away with it, and they knew it. "
13 " Ryan chuckled. “You’re going to be my trouble this year, aren't you?” he asked softly. Hell yeah I was. "
14 " It’s always described as melting, and I finally understood why. I thought my body was turning to liquid. I could feel my bones giving way, threatening to dissolve and leave me one big puddle of goo. "
15 " Love is when you're with someone and you never check the time because for you, time doesn't exist. "
― S. Walden , Honeysuckle Love
16 " It's not conditional. I don't love you because you love me. I love you because I love you. "
17 " People grow and change. You have to choose to grow and change together. It doesn't mean the feeling isn't still there. You just have to work at it a little harder. "
18 " I love you,” he said. “This couldn’t be a dumber place and time to tell you, I know. But, God, Bailey. I love you.” He paused. “I love you. "
19 " This guy had balls. Well, I mean, obviously he had balls. I hope he had balls. Bailey, stop thinking about his balls. "
20 " I just wanna belong, Bailey,” he said softly. “I wanna belong in your world with your friends and your hobbies and your gardens. That’s all. I wanna know everything about you, even if I have to bully it out of you. Put you on the spot. Make you uncomfortable. ‘Cause I can’t get enough of you. "
