    Ellen Hopkins
    “Girls get screwed.
    Not that kind of screwed, what I mean is, they're always on the short end of things.

    The way things work, how
    guys feel great, but make girls feel
    cheap for doing
    exactly what
    they beg for.

    The way they get to play you,
    all the while claiming they
    love you and making you
    believe it's
    true.

    The way it's okay to gift their heart one day, a backhand the next,
    to move on to the apricot
    when the peach blushes and bruises.

    These things make me believe God's a man after all.”
    Ellen Hopkins, Crank

    Ellen Hopkins
    “I don’t think God has a gender. I don’t think God hates gays or Democrats, and I don’t think you have to be Born Again to find your way to Heaven. I believe God expects us to care for one another, even those who are different. God wants us to be good stewards of this planet, and that means not wasting or violating its resources. Most of all, it means not blowing it up. Especially not in God’s name.”
    Ellen Hopkins

    Ellen Hopkins

    Ellen Hopkins
    “They think old people are lame. But they're not. They're awesome, & I know exactly why I think so. It's because they've lived entire lifetimes. Loved. Laughed. Surrendered. Stumbled. Weathered, beaten, still they don't crumble, not even as they inch toward death.”
    Ellen Hopkins, Identical

    Ellen Hopkins
    “I do have friends, but they don't know me, only someone I've created to take my place. Someone sculpted from ice. I keep the melted me bottled up inside. Where no one can touch her, until, unbidden, she comes pouring out.”
    Ellen Hopkins, Identical

    Ellen Hopkins
    “Funny thing, your brain,
    how it always functions on one
    level or another. How, even stuck in
    some sort of subconcious limbo, it works
    your lungs, your muscle twitches, your heart,
    in fact, in symphony with your heart, allowing it
    to feel love. Pain. Jealousy. Guilt. I wonder if it’s the
    same for people, lost in comas. Is there really such a thing”
    Ellen Hopkins, Crank

The kind that sticks.”
