“The saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” couldn't be further from the truth. Broken bones heal; words can stick with you for a lifetime.”
― Madison Beer, The Half of It: A Memoir

“You can't hate yourself into the person you want to become. You can't hate your body into looking a different way. You can't hold yourself to an unrealistic standard and then punish yourself for falling short. Hating and criticising yourself is backward progress.”
― Madison Beer, The Half of It: A Memoir

“And finally, now that you know some chapters of my life, I hope you're reminded that everyone has a story that you just haven't read yet. Thank you for reading some of mine.”
― Madison Beer, The Half of It: A Memoir

“I try to remind myself of the same when I'm struggling – that there's a version of me in the future that is waiting for me, grateful for the lessons that I’m being taught presently, even if right now they feel pointless.”
― Madison Beer, The Half of It: A Memoir
