“I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was...” — Anna Todd Quote

“I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was quick, I know. My husband joined the Army, and I thought I'd go to college. But we moved to Fort Hood for his job with no money, not even a car.”

“I had no clue what I wanted to do. I tried nursing, I tried science, I tried English. I just kept bouncing back and forth.”

“I want him to look in the mirror and smile, not scowl. I need him to not think of himself as a monster. I need him to see the real him, because if he doesn’t pull himself out of the villain role, it will destroy him, and I’ll just be left with ashes. I just needed to get it all out because I feel like I’m drowning, and it’s hard to keep myself above water,especially when I’m fighting against the current to save him rather than myself.”

“It's always been my personal feeling that unless you are married, there is something that is not very dignified about talking about who you are dating.”

“Growing up, I didn't get the talk of 'Make sure boys take you on a date and treat you right.' So I was the girl who wasn't dating and would just text. I dated these guys who didn't have jobs, and I would always be paying. At one point, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, 'You're too pretty and cool to be treated like this.'”

“Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury.”
