“We all want to be stars. The idea of being revered and envied must be encoded somewhere deep in our DNA. So must the desire to revere and envy others we imagine to be better, more accepted, and more popular than we are. The only problem is that the most necessary qualities required to be a celebrity -- self-absorption, egomania, shamelessness -- are the least attractive in a friend.”
― Tonya Hurley, Ghostgirl

“A true friend is someone who is always there for you, with no agenda other than the friendship itself. We rely on our friends to lift us up in bad times, to keep us grounded in good times, but most importantly, to be there for us when we need nothing at all.”
― Tonya Hurley, Homecoming

“I never understood why you tried so hard to fit in, when you were obviously meant to stand out.”
― Tonya Hurley, Ghostgirl

“If you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed.”
― Tonya Hurley, Homecoming
