1 " Why are you pretending to write, when I already know you're just doing that to intimidate me? "
― Jennifer Echols , Going Too Far
2 " Nothing says "I love you" like a dead body "
3 " But you can’t live your life worried about dying all the time. If you do, you’re dead already. "
4 " I should have run away from you and started college and gone on without you. But I would always have regretted it if I didn't give this a shot.- Tiffany "
5 " Your lot in life? A lot is something you draw, like straws. It's chance. You didn't get this life by chance. You chose it on purpose. If you're dissatisfied from it, you can change it. "
6 " And the rest is happily ever After. "
7 " Waiter, this is not the policeman I ordered. I wanted one with a lot less sauce. "
8 " My knee radiated heat. As I watched him pull himself from the car and walk casually across the brightly lit parking lot, I thought dumb things. I will never wash my knee again. I will never wash these jeans again. I will cut the knee out of these jeans and sew a pillow to sleep on every night, just to have a molecule of him in my bed with me. "
9 " You can't tell a seventeen-year-old anything. They think they're immortal. They don't listen. Seventeen-year-olds have to see it for themselves. "
10 " Consider yourself hugged. Virtual hug."I felt the virtual hug, warm and snug. "
11 " Officer After leaned across the seat toward me - which, under the circumstances, made me start back. 'I'm sorry I'm not allowed to beat the shit out of him for you. "
12 " Yeah, I understood that last night at the wreck. Nothing says I love you like a dead body. "
13 " I am full of fear. "
14 " All right," I said. "But from now on, every time you show me a dead body, I'm having sex with Eric. "
15 " I guess we both understood that our relationship was built entirely on witty repartee, and neither of us thought we could be witty on four hours of shut-eye. "
16 " I swear, Tiff, if my ass made good grades, you'd want to date my ass. "
17 " What have we done to each other? "
18 " Friends my ass. "
19 " Me?' I laughed. 'I'm guilty. "
20 " His dark eyes challenged me. They were weapons that could hurt me. Here was the worst thing about them: I could tell that if Johnafter loved you, his dark eyes would be beautiful and friendly and warm. So every time he cut me down with a look that was cold and unfriendly and ugly, it was a double insult, a reminder of what I could never have. I found myself avoiding his dark eyes when I could. "
