Laurie Halse Anderson
“I have to go. Boss has
this weird idea that I should actually work while he’s paying
me.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

Laurie Halse Anderson
“And that’s the problem. When you’re
alive, people can hurt you. It’s easier to crawl into a bone
cage or a snowdrift of confusion. It’s easier to lock everybody
out.
But it’s a lie.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

Laurie Halse Anderson
“Why don’t you want to see your mom? Did she burn your
dolls in a sacrificial fire? Read your e-mail?”

“She wants to run my life,” I explain.

“What a bitch. It’s like she thinks she’s your mother
or something.”

“She’s a psychopath,” I said. “It’s complicated.”

“Psychopaths can’t afford fur coats.”

“This one can.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

“Sometimes
being an adult means doing the right thing, even if it’s not
what you want.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls

Laurie Halse Anderson
“We held hands when we walked down the gingerbread path into the forest, blood dripping from our fingers. We danced with witches and kissed monsters. We turned us into wintergirls, and when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls
