More quotes by Jenny Downham, Before I Die

"I love you. It hurts more than anything ever has, but I do. So don't you dare tell me I don't. Don't you ever say it again!"
"Maybe you should say goodbye, Cal.''No.''It might be important.''It might make her die."
"I've always wanted to be a cat. Warm and domesticated when you want to be, wild when you don't."
"But all that is warm will go cold. My ears will fall off and my eyes will melt. My mouth will be clamped shut. My lips will turn to glue....No taste or smell or touch or sound.Nothing to look at. Total emptiness for ever."
"I wish I had a boyfriend. I wish he lived in the wardrobe on a coat hanger. Whenever I wanted, I could get him out and he'd look at me the way boys do in films, as if I'm beautiful."
