&quot;Im smiling, that alone should scare you.&quot; <br /> &quot;I&#039;m not evil..I&#039;m good with a twist.&quot; <br /> &quot;Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the crayons.&quot; <br /> &quot;Good friends don&#039;t let you do stupid things..alone.&quot; <br /> &quot;I dream of a better world where chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.&quot; <br /> &quot;It&#039;s all fun and games till someone gets hurt.. Then it&#039;s hilarious.&quot; <br /> &quot;Team Jacob. I like my guys with a pulse thank you.&quot;<br /> &quot;I never got my letter from Hogwarts so I&#039;m packing up and moving to Forks to live with the Cullen&#039;s.&quot; <br /> &quot;No camera could catch the look in her eyes and the feeling in her heart when she looks at him.&quot; <br /> &quot;I love how you make me laugh when I don&#039;t even want to smile.&quot; <br /> &quot;If I had to chose between you and breathing, I would chose you and then I would use my last breath to tell you &quot;I love you.&quot; <br /> &quot;And he asked &ldquo;Is everything okay?&rdquo; and she blinked away the tears and said, &ldquo;Yeah, I&rsquo;m totally happy for you.&rdquo; <br /> &quot;In Kindergarten we learned about cooties, in middle school we learned about relationships, and in high school we learned the definition of heartbreak.&quot;<br /> &quot;Sometimes when I say &ldquo;oh I&rsquo;m fine&rdquo; I just want you to look me in the eyes and say &ldquo;tell the truth.&rdquo;<br /> &ldquo;He looked at me and said &ldquo;do you ever feel like you&rsquo;re working for something you&rsquo;re never going to get? A shoot + miss kind of deal. Like no matter what, you just can&rsquo;t have it, but that makes you fight for it just a little bit more?&rdquo; I looked at him, stared at him for just a second and said &ldquo;everyday.&rdquo;<br /> &quot;Never say I love you if you don&rsquo;t really care. Never talk about feelings if they aren&rsquo;t really there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart. Never say you&rsquo;re going to if you&rsquo;re not planning to start. Never look me in the eye when all you do is lie. Never say hello is all you mean is good-bye.&quot;<br /> &quot;We don&rsquo;t talk anymore and I don&rsquo;t understand why. It&rsquo;s like you gave me wings and told me it was illegal to fly.&quot;<br /> &quot;My friends and I are the kind when a house burns down; we&rsquo;re roasting marshmallows and crushing on the firemen.&quot;
