Even when you're the one writing it.”

“We all carry around baskets of eggs, and these eggs are precious, they represent information about us, our concerns, our needs, our lives, our downfalls, everything. As we meet people and become more comfortable with them, we toss some of our eggs to these people and they, in turn, place those eggs in their baskets. But, there are times, when out of desperation, or immaturity, or whatever, we throw too many eggs at once, and the recipient can't catch them all, and a few get broken, and we then find out that this other person knows too much about us, or at least more than they wanted to know, and that then destroys the ability to truly be friends.”

“Just because a frog says he's a prince doesn't mean you should kiss him. For all you know he's one of the arrogant, worthless princes who might better serve society as a pair of buttered legs on someone's plate.”

“I'd always wanted to be a princess saved by a magical knight. But now I wished I'd learned how to save myself FROM the knight - just a little bit. Why didn't anyone tell princesses that knights were sometimes more dangerous than dragons?”

“Finally, she stopped wishing on stars. The years of hoping Peter would return for her were a dark smudge across her memory.”

“Her eyes dropped to the ground, and she didn’t call her friends out for being horrible. In Ireland’s mind, not speaking up in those situations was just as bad as being the verbal abusers.”

“Ireland wondered if she was the only person who did such a thing or if there were others like her having whole relationships from first glance to breakup in their heads.”

“Kal wished that Ireland would turn and look at him so that he could know how she felt at that moment. Which was stupid because how was he supposed to know how she felt just because they locked eyes? And yet he did feel that if he could actually see into her eyes, he would be able to know where she was at emotionally.”

“Ireland knew from dealing with people who lied consistently that everybody had a tell that they revealed right before the moment they were about to say something untrue.”

“Because deep in your heart you know Jane is right. Romance is fabulous and it's worth it! All the crap we go through, all the worry and wondering-it's all worth it if we can find that one person who makes us happy, that one person we can go to and cry with when life is bad and laugh with when life is good. That is what life is all about. It' about relationships and making them work. It's about sharing our lives with someone else we can have private jokes and people who have to put up with us even when we're disasters. If we don't take our own lives in our own hands, we lose. This is the power of Jane, Emma. This is the truth. This is where it all gets real. If Jane teaches us anything, it's that we have the right to choose our own loves in life. We don't have to settle for Mr. Collins if we don't want to.”
