1 " I love you, I thought. But I didn’t say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one— that she won’t say it back. "
― Alex Flinn , Beastly (Beastly, #1; Kendra Chronicles, #1)
2 " when you're a kid, they tell you that it's what's on the inside that counts. Looks don't matter . But that's not true. Guys like Phoebus in The Hunchback, or Dorian, or the old Kyle Kingsbury-- they can be scumbags to women and still get away with it because they're good-looking. Being ugly is a kind of prisoner. "
3 " It's easier to fake it. When you fake it for sixteen years, it becomes part of you, something you don't think about. "
― Alex Flinn , Breathing Underwater (Breathing Underwater, #1)
4 " those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy. "
5 " What happened to romance? sappy soppy longhand love letters. "
― Alex Flinn
6 " He bursts into tears, and not some manlike tears either, where you pretend you're brushing something off your face and, incidentally, wipe a tear. Nope. He starts bawling like a kid who spilled his Slushie... "

7 " Just because something is beautiful doesn´t mean it´s good. "
8 " You are ugly now, on the inside, where it matters most...you are beastly. "
9 " People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don´t even notice anymore... "
10 " It hurts too much so I don't want to talk about it. "
11 " ...if there´s a beast,maybe he´s just a regular guy with a sin conditon or something. Maybe he just needs some understanding. Maybe we judge people to much by their looks because it´s easier than seeing what´s really important. "
12 " Something with inner beauty will live forever, like the scent of a rose. "
13 " The magic is over, but its effects will live forever. "
14 " I just knew. There was no movie ending. There was only an ending. "
15 " It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books. "
16 " I can't go on like this "
17 " We sit, silent, the comfortable way only good friends can sit. "
18 " The whole thing was like a divorce. When we divided everything up, Courtney got my dignity, and I got the heartache. "
19 " Sometimes it also helps to have a bit less pride. "
20 " True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage until he finds you. "
― Alex Flinn , A Kiss in Time
