"Robert, I’m sorry that you feel so strange, but I’m not sorry that you’re feeling it because of me,” I whispered, my heart feeling a familiar twinge as I continued, “but even if you hadn’t felt it, it would not change the way I feel about you."

"Who ends up with their first real boyfriend? Yeah, no one.- Courtney"

"Being a Dream Girl is never going to be about what you look like or how much you weigh. After all, our physical appearances are just reflections of our inner worlds. What makes you a Dream Girl is your emotional sensitivity, your self-awareness, and your ability to communicate who you are effectively and compassionately in the world."

"Please. Forgive me. One more chance, Blaire. I want this. I want you."

"No bikinis on a first date.” He nods. “I’m sure that’s a rule. Or should be. For my sisters anyway."

"And to think of all the colors in the world, blood chose to be red."

"Your voice sounds like a midnight fire. All warm and worn in and golden. I could listen to you talk forever.""I could never do that". She laughed at him. He brought his lips to her ear. "Your scent is like violets early in spring,"he whispered. Then he laughed at himself because though it was true, he sounded like the worst kind of fool."

"The more expensive a school is, the more crooks it has — I'm not kidding."

"He would reach for me in the middle of the night, nearly every single night, wrapping one of those solid arms around my waist and pulling me in close. So. Close."
