&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;It&#039;s better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a<br /> pessimist who is always right.&quot;<br /> &quot;When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are<br /> dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.&quot;

&ldquo;It&#039;s just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It&#039;s the universe&#039;s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It&#039;s how life is.&rdquo; <br /> ― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever
