I feel like as I've gotten older I've unfortunately come to the decision that a lot of people who seem normal and boring maybe are normal and boring.

When you are a high school girl, there is nothing more miraculous than a high school boy.

When I was writing my first two books I was also freelancing and teaching and doing other odd jobs.

In life we're most hell-bent on proving things that we're not really sure are true.

I feel like if you read something, and it makes you so curious about a topic that you then go read something else, that's exciting.

Perhaps this is how you know you're doing the thing you're intended to: No matter how slow or how slight your progress, you never feel that it's a waste of time.

I guess in life I find people who, at first glance, appear to be very typical or average, whatever that means, and then turn out to have hidden qualities.
