Sisters in Sanity QUOTES

1 " Cinders, I would've thought you of all people would know better. There are no wicked stepmothers and there are no fairy godmothers, and there are no Prince Charmings. There in no preordained destiny. You get to decide that. You decide your destiny.
- V "

― Gayle Forman , Sisters in Sanity

2 " There are monsters all around us
They can be so hard to see
hey don't have fangs, no blood-soaked claws
They look like you and me.

But we're not defenseless
We're no damsels in distress
Together we can fend off the attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

Your body is beautiful how it is
Who you love is nobody's business
We all contemplate life and death
It's the poet who gives these thoughts
breath.

The monster is strong, don't be mistaken
It thrives on fear-keeps us isolated
But together we can fend off its attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

In your darkest hour
When the fight's made you weary
When you think you've lost your power
When you can't see clearly
When you're ready to surrender
Give in to the black
look over your shoulder
I've got your back. "

5 " It's just that we'd like to think that craziness and sanity are on opposite ends of an ocean, but really they're more like neighboring islands. "

6 " Le plus curieux, c'est que, peu à peu, un autre sentiment a fait surface. Quelque chose comme de la déception. Et je me suis aperçue que, en dépit de tout, j'aurais vraiment aimé aller voir le grand canyon. "

― Gayle Forman , Sisters in Sanity

7 " — Eh oui, elle s'est baptisée "V" comme vétéran, a lancé Babe avec un petit rire.
— Non, c'est "V" comme Virginia, comme Victoire, et comme Va te faire foutre. "

8 " This place is not about fixing you. It's about warehousing you while your clueless parents are bilked out of thousands of dollars. "

9 " On était dans son bureau obscur, décoré avec des affiches à visée éducative. L'une d'elles représentait des oies sauvages volant en formation, avec une légende qui disait : << Si tu sais où tu vas, tu iras loin. >>Pour ma part, je ne risquais pas d'aller bien loin, car on m'avait pris mes vêtements et mes chaussures. "

10 " Petite, je n'ai jamais eu conscience d'être soutenue, car j'ignorais l'impression que cela faisait de ne pas l'être. "

― Gayle Forman , Sisters in Sanity

11 " I was tired of being in the charge of cruel and clueless adults. The world was upside down. The adults had abandoned their roles. They'd surrounded themselves in a cocoon of ignorance--and then told us we were screwed up. We couldn't trust them anymore. There was nobody out there watching out for us, taking care of us. We had to look out for ourselves. "
