Cecily Von Ziegesar Quotes

Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I don’t love you Picture Quote #1

That’s the problem with best friends. Sometimes they know you better than you know yourself Picture Quote #1

Blair liked to think of herself as a hopeless romantic in the style of old movie actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. She was always coming up with plot devices for the movie she was starring in at the moment, the movie that was her life Picture Quote #1

Taste of metal on my tongue. Poison the color of envy- I’m delirious, you’re delicious, I’m deluded and delusional. I’m lost without you. I need you Picture Quote #1

I’d never really babysat. I feel like I’m Blair, or ‘Gossip Girl.’ A teenager, basically - and now suddenly I’m a mom? Picture Quote #1

Back in my days as a children’s book editor, my superiors caught on to the fact that teenagers were using the Internet to gossip about each other, and thought it might be nifty to develop a series of books about an anonymous high-school blogger who gossips about her classmates. The concept was passed on to me Picture Quote #1

I certainly didn’t say while writing ‘Gossip Girl,’ ‘Oh this is going to be big!’ It was really like, ‘Oh God, everyone’s gong to hate these people! They’re so bratty!’ But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them Picture Quote #1

I feel like ‘Gossip Girl’ isn’t really ‘Gossip Girl’ anymore when they’re away at school because they don’t go to NYU; they go to, like, Yale and Brown. New York City is just as much a character as anyone else in the books, and I was really sort of reluctant to show them off in their separate college worlds Picture Quote #1

I have no sense of what I should or shouldn’t talk about. I just blather. Which is why it’s fun to write ‘Gossip Girl.’ I do tend to just talk about anything Picture Quote #1

I remember, in my senior year, one of my teachers taking me aside and saying: ‘You look really tired.’ This was when I was being a bad kid and she knew that something was wrong Picture Quote #1

I used to be an editor and I was editing young adult series. I didn’t really like the books that I was reading, so I decided that I would write a book about something I’d want to read if I was 16. It turned into a Cinderella story... I developed a proposal and the characters of ‘Gossip Girl’ for my job Picture Quote #1

I’m always saying that my books are not autobiographical because they’re not. I can’t choose any one scene and say, ‘Oh, this is exactly what happened to me!’ I just use little snippets of things as a starting point! Picture Quote #1

My biggest fear in writing ‘Gossip Girl’ was that the characters would sound like stereotypical rich, air-headed heiresses. These were my friends. They were smart and multifaceted. They had interests and passions. They wanted to become lawyers and doctors and writers and filmmakers Picture Quote #1

My high school wasn’t a big public school; it was tiny. There were 36 girls in my graduating class. We were a big group of girls that by the time senior year came along couldn’t wait to get away from school fast enough but we loved each other. It’s really fun to see the girls at reunions now Picture Quote #1

Destiny is for losers. It’s just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen Picture Quote #1

Smart, truly hilarious, and entirely sympathetic. Like a hot bubble bath or a holiday at the beach, you won’t want it to end Picture Quote #1

I always resented books that tried to teach a lesson, where the characters are too good: They don’t swear, they tell their mothers everything Picture Quote #1

It’s physics. Pure physics, I’m falling fast and faster still. So fall with me. Fall down with me. And stay Picture Quote #1

I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I’d want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan, where I’d grown up - and I’d model the characters on myself and my friends Picture Quote #1

...don’t act like I didn’t for you. I did. Hard. And for a long time. So please, forgive me if now that we’re over, I’m exhausted Picture Quote #1

No matter the truth, people see what they want to see Picture Quote #1

It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore Picture Quote #1

Give a girl a boyfriend and she becomes a total expert on relationships Picture Quote #1

You can’t make people love you but you can make them fear you Picture Quote #1

I guess I was popular in high school Picture Quote #1

... forgiving is not the same as forgetting Picture Quote #1

Who has time to make up stories when the truth is so much more interesting? Picture Quote #1

I don’t eat chicken abortions! Picture Quote #1

I usually wouldn’t be this close to you without a tetnus shot Picture Quote #1

Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it Picture Quote #1
