Laurie Halse Anderson Quotes

Do you know how much women loathe it when guys think every show of negative emotion is tied to our menstrual cycle, like we're sheep or something? Picture Quote #1

I wonder how long it would take for anyone to notice if I just stopped talking Picture Quote #1

My first class is biology. I can’t find it and get my first demerit for wandering the hall. It is 8:50 in the morning. Only 699 days and 7 class periods until graduation Picture Quote #1

Here stands a girl clutching a knife. There is grease on the stove, blood in the air, and angry words piled in the corners. We are trained not to see it, not to see any of it... Someone just ripped off my eyelids Picture Quote #1

Homework is not an option. My bed is sending out serious nap rays. I can’t help myself. The fluffy pillows and warm comforter are more powerful than I am. I have no choice but to snuggle under the covers Picture Quote #1

Emma is a mattress who got thrown off the truck when her parents split up. It’s not like you can blame a mattress when people don’t tie it down tight enough Picture Quote #1

We swore sacred oaths to be strong and to save the planet and to be friends forever Picture Quote #1

He doesn’t see my breasts or my waist or my hips. He only sees the nightmare Picture Quote #1

I believe that you’ve created a metaphorical universe in which you can express your darkest fears. In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts, but we create them. We haunt ourselves, and sometimes we do such a good job, we lose track of reality Picture Quote #1

I stuff my mouth with old fabric and scream until there are no sounds left under my skin Picture Quote #1

I wanted to pull down a book, open it proper, and gobble up page after page Picture Quote #1

I want to go to sleep and not wake up, but I don’t want to die. I want to eat like a normal person eats, but I need to see my bones or I will hate myself even more and I might cut my heart out or take every pill that was ever made Picture Quote #1

I scared myself, because once you’ve thought long and hard enough about doing something that is colossally stupid, you feel like you’ve actually done it, and then you’re never quite sure what your limits are Picture Quote #1

Sometimes being an adult means doing the right thing, even if it’s not what you want Picture Quote #1

She cannot chain my soul. Yes, she could hurt me. She’d already done so... I would bleed, or not. Scar, or not. Live, or not. But she could not hurt my soul, not unless I gave it to her Picture Quote #1

I look at my homely sketch. It doesn’t need anything. Even through the river in my eyes I can see that. It isn’t perfect and that makes it just right Picture Quote #1

She offered herself to the big, bad wolf and didn’t scream when he took the first bite Picture Quote #1

I am so sorry. I wish you knew even one tenth of one percent of how sorry I am... It was my fault. Can I kill myself here, or should I do it outside, so the mess on your carpet doesn’t upset your mother? Picture Quote #1

There is nothing wrong with me. These are really sick people, sick that you can see Picture Quote #1

Some adults would rather pretend that bad things don’t exist than to talk about them Picture Quote #1

The bathroom door swings open. Emma sees the blood painting my skin and the red rivers carved on my body. Emma sees the wet knife, silver and bone. The screams of my little sister shatter mirrors Picture Quote #1

Memory cuts both ways; it can either provide you with tremendous strength and a foundation to carry you through your life, or it can be a demon that just ruins your present and your future because you can’t let go of the past Picture Quote #1

I needed to hear the world but didn’t want the world to know I was listening Picture Quote #1

I know my head isn’t screwed on straight. I want to leave, transfer, warp myself to another galaxy. I want to confess everything, hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else. There is a beast in my gut, I can hear it scraping away at the inside of my ribs. Even if I dump the memory, it will stay with me, staining me. My closest is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them Picture Quote #1
