A Quote by Kathryn Erskine

Then it passes away and leaves you changed. And everything that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one way or another.

When I was listening in on the phone call where Andre Leon Talley was saying that he was going to get my fat, black ass on the cover of a magazine. I think that - you know, Andre Leon Talley is fat and black. And it hurt my feelings. It hurt my feelings.

People will still have their opinions.

I think that hurt is all manufactured by yourself and your expectations.

He says: 'Because I think you won't betray me.' I had meant to get this mean to talk to me and tell me all about it, and then be so devastatingly English that perhaps I should manage to hurt him a little in return for all the many times I've been hurt.... 'Because I think you won't betray me, because I think you won't betray me....' Now it won't be so easy.
