Ellen Hopkins quotes about
thankful mean things-in-life
Sometimes the little things in life mean the most.
would-be stories
Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia.
wind skeletons stronger
The wind kicks in stronger, branches clatter. Or maybe skeletons. Bones of abandonment. Ghosts that will never be.
funny-things monsters treats
Funny thing about the monster. The worse he treats you, the more you love him.
problem resolution persons
The problem with resolutions is they're only as solid as the person making them.
pregnancy book kids
Why are people so afraid of giving their kids necessary information that might prevent an unwanted pregnancy or disease? But they're not worried about the violent nature of video games or movies or books...
falling-in-love lying love-is
The problem with falling in love is falling back out of it again, usually because you've fallen in love with a lie. That happens as often as not.
confused intelligent sky
I'm sad. Pressed down by sorrow. I'm angry. Pissed at God, if there is one, and the way things are. I'm scared. Confused by the whys. Why are we here? Is there, really, some intelligent design? Why do we cry for someone who leaves us if there's some Grand Pearly Gate in the sky? Why worry about how we build our lives if the ultimate ending for all is death, a single breath away? (358)
risk favors sides
Is it wrong to leave relative security in favor of unknown risk at the side of someone you love?
mom wall mean
Except when it comes to Mom. She is, and always has been, the driving force in this family. And sometimes that means driving us head-on, no possible change of course, into a wall.
accepting status-quo dies
She's no longer afraid to die. What she's afraid of is living, accepting the status quo.
smart getting-high care
Yeah, I know getting high isn't so smart. Ask me if I care.
followers puppets
Religion is for followers... Followers and puppets.
over-you warning sometimes
Without Warning Sometimes you're traveling a highway, the only road you've ever known, and wham! A semi comes from nowhere and rolls right over you.
