2 " Someone is always going to try to knock you down and take your place. It is up to you to fight for what you want. "
3 " Never outgrow your imagination. "
4 " The moment you put someone on a pedestal they will look down upon you. The trick is respecting each other equally. "
5 " Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself. "
6 " There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to create a world that solely exists in your imagination and be able to pull someone into this hidden place inside of my thoughts. To make someone care for a person that has manifested from my dreams, to make them hate me for putting them in danger, and for them to ask to be taken on another journey with me when it is all said and done is why I write. "
7 " When a woman shows confidence and another claims arrogance, she is usually suffering from jealousy. "
8 " Love will hurt. If it doesn't hurt you are not doing it right. To truly love someone you must open yourself up to the pain that would be losing them. "
9 " You can't love someone just by looking at them. That is lust. Not saying love can't come fast, but it doesn't come first. "
10 " Here is how you know if it is love or lust. Push them in front of a bus. If you jump in the way and save them it is love. "
11 " Love comes from the heart, lust comes ...lower "
12 " Lust is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. "

15 " Write something worth reading and your voice will be heard. "
16 " We need to boost each other to get to the top. It is much more effective than stepping on each other. "
17 " My tongue ran over my lower lip and I could taste the sin. It was thick and heavy in the air, and it made my head swim as I gazed into Abel's ocean-colored eyes. I wondered whether he tasted it too, whether his heart was pounding in his chest. I wondered most of all if it was artificial - a haze of adoration brought on by the pills. It had been so long since I'd wanted that; I didn't trust my own thoughts, but if felt too good to care. "

18 " I'm not hiding. I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. Everything anyone wants to know about me is right in front of their faces. Most just don't bother to look. "

19 " What’s your name?” he asked, a boyish grin creeping across his face. “Henley Brooks,” I murmured, tucking my hair behind my ear. “My name's Lucas.”“I know,” I replied, regretting the words as soon as they left my mouth. His grin grew larger as he ran his fingers through his dark hair. “No wonder you look so scared. "
20 " I know your type.”“Oh, yeah? What type is that?”“You’re all impulse and no consequences. Do you even think about how your actions make other people feel?”“Like that guy I hit? I’m pretty sure he felt pain.” “And the girls you use and throw away?”“Pleasure. Definitely pleasure.” He fought against a smirk. “Ugh. You’re shameless,” I scoffed. "
