― Megan McCafferty , Bumped (Bumped, #1)

6 " I believe that what we get out of life is what we've set ourselves up to get, so there's no such thing as an inconsequential decision. Our destinies are the culmination of all the choices we've made along the way, which is why it's imperative to listen hard to your inner voice when it speaks up.
Don't let anyone else's noise drown it out. "

7 " Most of my friends from Columbia are going on to get advanced degrees. And why not? A Ph.D. is the new M.A., a master's is the new bachelor's, a B.A. is the new high school diploma, and a high school diploma is the new smiley-face sticker on your first-grade spelling test. "

9 " I'm sitting in the bleachers, watching longingly as all the boys and umbumped girls in my Personal Health and Fitness class play Muggle Quidditch. I don't even like the game very much, I think it's silly, but I so miss physical activity that I'd be thrilled if I could run around the gymnasium with a broom between my legs, chasing after the human snitch wearing a gold pinny. "

― Megan McCafferty , Thumped (Bumped, #2)

― Megan McCafferty , Sloppy Firsts (Jessica Darling, #1)

11 " All subjects are the same. I memorize notes for a test, spew it, ace it, then forget it. What makes this scary for the future of our country is that I'm in the tip-top percentile on every standardized test. I'm a model student with a very crappy attitude about learning. "

13 " I love when I reach Marcus on the phone and as he says hello, I can hear the music he's listening to in the background. That music is the sound of him without me. How he surrounds himself when I'm not there, which is almost all the time. "

― Megan McCafferty , Charmed Thirds (Jessica Darling, #3)

14 " And now, as I'm lying alone in my own bed, I keep thinking about writhing against him last night, naked and vulnerable. Even after we'd both risen and fallen, peaked and plummeted, even after Marcus was physically shrinking from inside me, I couldn't stop clutching, crying, trying. Trying to pull him deeper, deeper, deeper within.

Trying to make him more a part of me than I am myself. "

― Megan McCafferty , Charmed Thirds (Jessica Darling, #3)

18 " Then a lightning bolt shot straight through my skivvies. Sha-ZAM! "

― Megan McCafferty , Sloppy Firsts (Jessica Darling, #1)

19 " Plagiarism has been around far longer than the Internet. In fact, I had a poem published in 'Seventeen' magazine when I was 15 years old. About a year later I was informed that there was a girl who used that same poem to win a statewide poetry competition in Alabama. It took months for people to put together that this had happened. "

― Megan McCafferty

20 " Because I've learned that you can't control what other people are going to think about you. The best you can do in life is not piss yourself off. "

― Megan McCafferty , Second Helpings (Jessica Darling, #2)
