Death Quote by Laurie Halse Anderson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Principal Principal: Where's your late pass, mister?”

“CONJUGATE THIS:”

“We tilt our heads back and open wide. The snow drifts into our zombie mouths crawling with grease and curses and tobacco flakes and cavities and boyfriend/girlfriend juice, the stain of lies.

For one breath everything feels better.”

“Gym should be illegal. It's humiliating.”

“THE FIRST TEN LIES THEY TELL YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL”

“To keep up appearances, I stomp my room and slam the door.”

“Zalos: 'The world is full of massive things in motion. Little creatures get hurt.”

“Aurelia was just about to take a sip of a mimosa when Mother Guardian snatched the flute away and promptly downed the drink in one gulp. Burping unashamedly, she said, "We can't have the validity of the marriage contracts jeopardized because the bride got rat-assed on her wedding day.”

“I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve come to learn that predictions don’t mean much. Too much lies outside the realm of medical knowledge. A lot of what happens next comes down to you and your specific genetics, your attitude. No, there’s nothing we can do to stop the inevitable, but that’s not the point. The point is that you should try to make the most of the time you have left.”
