41 " Scars are not reminder of what's been broken but rather what's been created. "
― Krystal Sutherland , Our Chemical Hearts
42 " As we'd say Down Under, there's no point pushing shit uphill with a rubber fork on a hot day.""Are these real Australian sayings or do you come up with this stuff yourself?" I said."It's genetic," Muz said, grinning."We're born with it already in our blood. "
43 " Something about the crisp, cool air, the twinkling carnival lights, and the scent of deep-fried food provided the perfect atmosphere for reckless teenage abandon. "
44 " You can tell a lot about a person from their bedroom, don’t you think? Bedrooms are like crime scenes - so many clues to be uncovered. "
45 " She's cute. In a weird, Janis Joplin, will probably die at twenty-seven kind of way. "
46 " Esther changed into a costume of Wednesday Addams, and then they went, the three strangest teenagers in town: a ghost who couldn't speak, a boy who hated the dark, and a girl who dressed as someone else everywhere she went. "

47 " My teenage hormones have rendered me too emotionally fragile to be in a learning environment right now. "

51 " All old building become crypts the moment they're finished, A shrine to a time that's already dead. "
52 " They've poisoned you with this 'love is patient, love is kind' bullshit since you were a kid. But love is scientific, man. I mean, it's really just a chemical reaction in the brain. Sometimes that reaction lasts a lifetime, repeating itself over and over again. And sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it goes supernova and then starts to fade. We're all just chemical hearts. Does that make love any less brilliant? I don't think so. "
53 " I'd realized there were scarier things in the world than the monsters that lived in my nightmares. "

59 " after I hit puberty, it was like a switch inside me flipped, and instead of becoming a testosterone-driven sex monster like most of the guys in my school, I failed to find anyone I wanted in my life in that way. "
60 " Love doesn't need to last a lifetime for it to be real. You can't judge the quality of a love by the length of time it lasts. Everything dies, love included. Sometimes it dies with a person, sometimes it dies on its own. The greatest love story ever told doesn't have to be about two people who spent their whole lives together. It might be about a love that lasted two weeks or two months or two years, but burned brighter and hotter and more brilliantly than any other love before or after. Don't mourn a failed love; there is no such thing. All love is equal in the brain. "
