Sarah Dessen's quote

Sarah Dessen (born June 6, 1970, in Evanston, Illinois) is an American writer who lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. The Truth About Forever

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend. Someone Like You

Don't think or judge, just listen. Just Listen

There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying. Just Listen

I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed. This Lullaby

Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. This Lullaby

Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment. Just Listen

It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is. The Truth About Forever

Sometimes it seems safer to hold it all in, where the only person who can judge is yourself.

It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys. Lock and Key
