"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect, and I don't live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean."
-Bob Marley
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before, she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect, you aren't either and the two of you may never be perfect together. But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her, and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking of you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you sad, and miss her when she's not there."
-Bob Marley

"With affection beaming in one eye, and calculation shining out of the other ..."
-Charles Dickens
"Callie's heart started to pound so hard it felt like it would break free of her chest. Running from the sables to his dorm, she'd been furious, ready to punch Easy in his beautiful face, but also ready to accept his beautiful face but also ready to accept his explanations or excuses, provided they came sweetly enough, and with plenty of kisses to smooth it over. Now it sounded like smoothing it over was the last thing on his mind."
-from the It Girl: Notorious (Book 2) by Cecily vonZiegesar

"'Hi, uh, Jeremiah. This is, um, Jenny, a friend of Brett's. I'm sorry to call you -- I really hope I'm not bothering you. But I just wanted to let you know that Brett's been thinking about you, like, all the time, and she knows she made a huge mistake and she wants to ask you to forgive her, but she's too afraid to. I means, she's totally in love with you and I totally know, because ... Because I'm in love with someone, too. And so I know what it looks like and she's got it bad ... And people who are in love really shouldn't let misunderstandings come between them."
-from the It Girl: Notorious (Book 2) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"She felt completely lost, like everything in the entire world was upside down, and so who cared if she made one more giant mistake? It was almost soothing to know she was taking an active part in destroying her own life, instead of just letting it happen."
-from the It Girl: Notorious (Book 2) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
-Sir Walter Scott
"What was his problem? Why couldn't he get his feelings about these two girls straight in his mind? It wasn't fair to anyone to keep thinking this way about both of them, but he couldn't help it."
-from the It Girl: Reckless (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar
By the time you swear you're his
Shivering and sighing.
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying,
Lady make a note of this--
One of you is lying.
-Dorothy Parker
"'Look, Easy. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's unfair of you to think you can have things both ways. If you have feelings for Jenny, you can't have feelings for me anymore.' Which would be kind of sad ... But still. Callie meant it. She didn't want to be one of Easy's girlfriends - she was either The One or nothing at all. No matter how great it had been to kiss him again - and it had been pretty freaking great - no guy was worth making a fool of herself over. Easy stood up. 'But it's not working that way.' 'Well, it kind of has to. You need to figure out what you want ... And until you do, I kind of doubt either of us will want anything to do with you.'"
-from the It Girl: Reckless (Book 3) by Cecily vonZiegesar

"Good things don't always come to those who wait. Really, who has the patience?"
-from the It Girl: Unforgettable (Book 4) by Cecily vonZiegesar
"'Don't you find it a little strange that you went from Callie to, like, the anti-Callie?' Easy tried to think about why that could be ... Had he used Jenny as a way out of his relationship with Callie because Callie tried to push him too far? Because he wasn't ready to say 'I love you'? ... 'That's, like, the classic definition of 'on the rebound,' isn't it?' Brandon continued, taking three quick puffs of his cigar and trying to exhale them into smoke rings the way tough guys always do in the movies. 'As much as I hate to say it, there was something about you and Callie that just ... made sense.'"
