1 " The thing is, that world doesn't exist. All growing up means is that your realize no one will come along to fix things. No one will come along to save you. "
― Elizabeth Scott , Love You Hate You Miss You
2 " There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do. "
― Elizabeth Scott , The Unwritten Rule
3 " Things end. People leave. And you know what? Life goes on. Besides, if bad things didn't happen, how would you be able to feel the good ones? "
― Elizabeth Scott , Perfect You
4 " Talking about someone who makes you happy actually makes you happy. "
― Elizabeth Scott , Bloom
5 " I didn't want it to be one good memory that led to a lot of bad ones. I wanted it to stay what it was, one amazing moment, something that was strong and sweet enough to stand on its own. Something I could remember without any pain. - Kate "
6 " Look at me. We aren´t them lauren. You´re not your mother or father any more than I´m my mother. You´re you and I´m me and I love you. "
7 " I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting that yours will ever be. "
8 " The thing about hearts is that they always want to keep beating "
― Elizabeth Scott , Living Dead Girl
9 " I want to lie down on the bench then, or better yet, on the grass, rest on something living and see if I can hear the dead underneath. "
― Elizabeth Scott
10 " I've missed you so much it's felt like missing you is all I am. Like if someone looked inside me, there wouldn't be a skeleton and muscles and blood and nerves. There'd just be memories of you and all the things I've tried to say and ripped out of this notebook, all the things I want to say but can't because I don't have the words. "
11 " And that's what makes you angry. What makes you hate. You don't want to believe that sometimes bad things happen just because they do. "
― Elizabeth Scott , Heartbeat
12 " I always thought of grief as a blow that took everything out of you. And it is like that. But it stays, past that first hard hit. It stays and blows its breath into you. It's always there, reminding you of what you've lost. What's gone. "
13 " I see what grief does, how it strips you bare, shows you all the things you don't want to know. That loss doesn't end, that there isn't a moment where you are done, when you can neatly put it away and move on. "
14 " When someone you love...when they die, you want it undone. You'd do anything to have them back, and it's easy to believe that if only this had happened or that had happened, everything would be fine. And that's what makes you angry. What makes you hate. You don't want to believe that sometimes bad things happen just because they do. "
15 " I have been smashed and put back together so many times nothing works right. Nothing is where it should be, heavy thumping in my shoulder where my heart now beats. "
16 " I thought living dead girls couldn't feel pain, thought I was emptied out but I'm not, I'm not. "
17 " She became a story, one I have mostly forgotten. One I can't end because she died a long time ago. "
18 " And in the end blood and tears are alike because they stop too. "
19 " Wherever I go, I'll always see you. You'll always be with me. And there's no happy ending coming here, no way a story that started on a night that's burned into my heart will end the way I wish it could. You're really gone, no last words, and no matter how many letters I write to you, you're never going to reply. You're never going to say good-bye. So I will. Good-bye, Julia. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being you. "
20 " Grace is my favourite church word. A state of being. Something you can pray for. Something God can grant. Something you can obtain. Perfection is out of reach. But grace -- grace you can reach for. "
