25 " I believe that the things we put numbers on are not necessarily the things that count the most. you can't measure the stuff that makes us human. "
26 " But what really gets me is that in order for Mr. Daniels to come up with this plan, he must have thought of me outside of school—when he didn’t have to think of me. I bet other teachers have never let me sit in their head one second longer than they had to. "

34 " ...I realize that Toni and I feel the same way about things. That we've both changed. That we're tired of having the world push us into places we don't want to be.

We have each other." -Carley "

37 " Every word is another shovelful of dirt from the hole I've dug for myself. So I figure my best bet is to shut my mouth. "
38 " My mouth dries up. I know I am not apologizing for the picture. I am sorry for being there in the first place. "
39 " But there is something you must remember about those feelings deep down inside. They come from your soul, and they’re a precious thing.

The ones that love you protect your feelings because they’ve been given a piece of you. Others may toss them around for just the same reason. "
