“Why did I think back then, that happiness was always just ahead in the future, when I would be an adult, able to make my own decisions, go my own way, be my own person? Why had it seemed that being a child was never enough?”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

“Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way
to feel alive.”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

“The Bible said, as Chris quoted one memorable day, there was a time for
everything. I figured my time for happiness was just ahead, waiting
for me.”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

“We're going to change. We're going to throw out what's worse in us
and keep what's best. But come hell or high water, we three will stick
together, all for one, one for all. We're going to grow, Cathy,
physically, mentally, and emotionally. Not only that, we're going to
reach the goals we've set for ourselves. I'll be the best damned
doctor the world's ever known and you will make Pavlova seem like an
awkward country girl.”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic
