More quotes by Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

"Silence is so freaking loud"
"Don't think or judge, just listen."
"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying."
"So you're always honest,"I said."Aren't you?""No,"I told him. "I'm not.""Well, that's good to know, I guess.""I'm not saying I'm a liar,"I told him. He raised his eyebrows. "That's not how I meant it, anyways.""How'd you mean it, then?""I just...I don't always say what I feel.""Why not?""Because the truth sometimes hurts,"I said."Yeah,"he said. "So do lies, though."
"Because this is what happens when you try to run from the past. It just doesn’t catch up, it overtakes … blotting out the future."
