When I first began writing, and I told people what I wrote, I'd get a blank stare and sometimes a 'Huh?' They weren't sure what young adult literature was. Now everyone knows. ~ Mary E. Pearson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Mary E. Pearson
I have a passion for children's literature. Young adult literature. I love it. I've always loved it. ~ Gretchen Rubin
Young Adult Literature quotes by Gretchen Rubin
The light was luminescence and gloom, like the sky at midnight speckled with stars. All she could smell was the ocean... ~ Samantha Lee Churcher
Young Adult Literature quotes by Samantha Lee Churcher
Esperanza leaned around the side of the truck. As they rounded a curve, it appeared as if the mountains pulled away from each other, like a curtain opening on stage, revealing the San Joaquin Valley beyond. Flat and spacious, it spread out like a blanket of patchwork fields. Esperanza could see no end to the plots of yellow, brown, and shades of green. The road finally leveled out on the valley floor, and she gazed back at the mountains from where they'd come. They looked like monstrous lions' paws resting at the edge of ridge. ~ Pam Munoz Ryan
Young Adult Literature quotes by Pam Munoz Ryan
... the primary trait of young adult literature is that the author's emphasis is on plot and character and not on his own brilliance. And because few people talk about whether a young adult work is commercial or literary; the two are still in sync, and everyone's benefitting. ~ Eliot Schrefer
Young Adult Literature quotes by Eliot Schrefer
I've been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels. ~ Diablo Cody
Young Adult Literature quotes by Diablo Cody
I thought I'd been condescended to as an Indian - that was nothing compared to the condescension for writing young adult literature. ~ Sherman Alexie
Young Adult Literature quotes by Sherman Alexie
Epic, epic love is not about having someone. It's about being willing to give them up. It's sacrifice. It's my mom's theater tickets stuffed down at the bottom of her jewelry box. It's Noah and August. It's my sister and Annabelle. It's Jordan and his mom, the truth he reserves to protect her. And see, that's the thing I didn't understand. The thing no one tells you. That just because you find love doesn't mean it's yours to keep. Love never belongs to you. It belongs to the universe. ~ Rebecca Serle
Young Adult Literature quotes by Rebecca Serle
I liked the darkness, the dusty bay window, the view over the grey, muddy harbour and the towering cliffs beyond. How could I think of all that and dislike it, really, when in every nook and cranny I felt Peter's eyes peering out, watching me? ~ Ava Bloomfield
Young Adult Literature quotes by Ava Bloomfield
For one last time, I said my goodbyes to the place I'd known as home for the last decade, and for the first time, I welcomed the unknown. ~ Nicole Sobon
Young Adult Literature quotes by Nicole Sobon
Then his lips were on mine and I lost myself, overwhelmed by the surge of Trey's emotions as they flooded through me. I kissed him back wanting to forget my fear of being discovered of putting him in danger and focus only on how good it felt being in his arms. After all relinquishing some control was a sacrifice worth making if it meant I could continue to live in this fantasy with Trey. But the dreaded tingling in my teeth started up again and I reluctantly pulled away. ~ Heather Jensen
Young Adult Literature quotes by Heather Jensen
Please give me a single reason why I shouldn't hurl myself beneath the wheels of that bus. ~ Neal Shusterman
Young Adult Literature quotes by Neal Shusterman
Sports contained the truth, I decided, the unspoken truth (how quickly we damn ourselves when we start to talk, how small and inglorious we always sound), and it seemed hard to believe that I had never understood this before. They rewarded effortlessness and unself-consciousness; they confirmed that yes, there are rankings of skill and value and that everyone knows what they are (seeing those guys who were subbed with two seconds left before the end of a quarter, I'd think how girls' coaches were never that heartless); they showed that the best things in the world to be were young and strong and fast. To play a great game of high school basketball-it was something I myself had never done, but I could tell-made you know what it was to be alive. How much in an adult life can compare to that? Granted, there are margaritas, or there's no homework, but there are also puffy white bagels under neon lights in the conference room, there's waiting for the plumber, making small talk with your boring neighbor. ~ Curtis Sittenfeld
Young Adult Literature quotes by Curtis Sittenfeld
Just because I wasn't human, didn't mean I could discount human life. (Eric) ~ Shannon A. Thompson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Shannon A. Thompson
The dragon raised his head and snorted repulsively, "Keep you as a slave? Never! I could do more for myself in a moment than you could for me in a lifetime... ~ Kathryn Fogleman
Young Adult Literature quotes by Kathryn Fogleman
Woe is the mind of the common man, so easily controlled by the prospect of an ambition never to be truly attained. This is what tyrants live on and by what commoners are blissfully burdened and subdued. ~ Evan Meekins
Young Adult Literature quotes by Evan Meekins
Cry if you need to…
Scream if you have to…
Afterwards, everything will be okay… ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
My eyes open and close. I catch a quick glimpse of the people in the room and hear a fading echo from the heart monitor. As I think about my past, remorse bleed into the crevices of my torn heart. Since I'm in this hospital, I might as well prepare for my departure. I like the way that word sounds, it gives off the illusion of a specific journey that an individual is about to take. ~ T.K. Ware
Young Adult Literature quotes by T.K. Ware
I do want tomorrows with you, Jase. I want a lifetime of tomorrows. ~ Mary E. Pearson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Mary E. Pearson
When I see your scars, do I want to erase them? Absolutely. But not your physical scars. The real ones, beneath the surface. The ones that compel you to stay silent or force you to cringe. Those are the scars I want to obliterate." His finger circles the dip of a burn mark on her forearm. "This is a battle trophy and nothing to be ashamed of. Every one of your scars makes you more beautiful to me. ~ Laura Kreitzer
Young Adult Literature quotes by Laura Kreitzer
Starting from this day, I will create a chance of happiness that doesn't depend on perfect conditions. My options may not be infinite, but my possibilities are endless." -Bliss Aston ~ Umi Allison
Young Adult Literature quotes by Umi Allison
When someone puts your needs and wants before theirs - and respect your feelings, they care. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Psychiatrist and Auschwitz survivor, Viktor Frankl, stated, ... man is by no means merely a product of heredity and environment. There is a third element: decision. Man ultimately decides for himself! ~ Alice A. Kemp
Young Adult Literature quotes by Alice A. Kemp
If you're spending your entire early 20s chasing the next party,what are you running away from? ~ Demi Lovato
Young Adult Literature quotes by Demi Lovato
But remember that good intentions pave many roads. Not all of them lead to hell. ~ Neal Shusterman
Young Adult Literature quotes by Neal Shusterman
Acknowledging that my biological imperative may not include the drive to procreate, that I just might be attracted to XX chromosomes instead of XY? That's so stupid-minor in comparison to the fact that I might actually be in love for the first time in my life. It's with a girl...so what? Lesbian, bisexual, whatever! Thus isn't about categorisation or chromosomes. This is about how I feel about another person. ~ Kristen Zimmer
Young Adult Literature quotes by Kristen Zimmer
It's - I write the books and let the market find who reads it. I guess a young adult is anywhere from ten to fifteen. ~ Louis Sachar
Young Adult Literature quotes by Louis Sachar
I stared at my lap. I wished I were confident, I wished I were brave. I wished he didn't scare me. But the more he spoke the less I wanted to look away, and the more I did. ~ Rose Fall
Young Adult Literature quotes by Rose Fall
Now students all seem to be converging on the same self, the successful upper-middle-class professional, impersonating the adult they've already decided they want to become. ~ William Deresiewicz
Young Adult Literature quotes by William Deresiewicz
Either you're one hell of an actress, or you're the dumbest person to ever walk the face of this planet. ~ Kimberly Spencer
Young Adult Literature quotes by Kimberly Spencer
My life is hard. No one would rob me of that. The clothes I am wearing came out of a knotted up black plastic trash bag from a resale shop downtown. And not the downtown where shiny cars wink at you in the sunlight. If a car winks at you in this area it's being driven by a person you would be best to avoid.
My side of downtown is crumbling and skirted by chain link fences.
Rocky Evans ~ Gwenn Wright
Young Adult Literature quotes by Gwenn Wright
Why wasn't I good enough for you? Is it because I intimidated you? Did that give you the right to tear me down mentally and physically? Why did you put hands on me? Was it because you thought I was too weak to fight back? Or did you pick me out of the many women in the world who you made as your prey because I was happy and you were miserable? You are a coward. You are weak. You will never have the ability to hurt me again because I have taken back my power. I am loved, and most importantly, I am loved by me. For decades, I didn't know that I am the one who is the narrator of my story and that my happy ending is up to me. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
A woman of battle cannot take the same risks as a woman of the fields or a woman of the town. One may not strap a baby basket to one's back along with one's swords and ride off to battle.
Renda of Brannagh, ~ Jordan MacLean
Young Adult Literature quotes by Jordan MacLean
Katherine stared intently at the cold, hard steel. She knew it would be loaded and that, if need be, there was extra ammunition in the back of the drawer. She would not be one of those girls, the ones who sit idly by and wait for the answers to come to them. ~ Gwenn Wright
Young Adult Literature quotes by Gwenn Wright
It's not about the destination. It's getting there that's the good part.
- Leonard ~ Morgan Matson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Morgan Matson
I let another human being dictate and control my life. I was used for amusement, and the joke was on me."
~Love is respect ♥~ ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Aaron was beside himself grabbing his keys and running out of his office leaving everyone staring at him. He heard Becca call his name but he didn't have the time, Nia needed him and he had to go now! He felt like he was suffocating as he started the car and pushed the gas down as far as it would go. This guardian bond thing was more intense than he ever thought possible. ~ Shayna Varadeaux
Young Adult Literature quotes by Shayna Varadeaux
Identity was everything, but it seemed I never had one. (Jessica) ~ Shannon A. Thompson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Shannon A. Thompson
Without a torch, I stumbled along the paths. The night was dismal. A partial moon hovered bitter and white on the horizon. It was the perfect night for murder. ~ Kimberley Griffiths Little
Young Adult Literature quotes by Kimberley Griffiths Little
So I laid a hand on his forearm, savoring the corded strength beneath, and nestled my head back against his chest. "I wish I had days to spend with you - like this," I managed to say as my eyelids drooped. "Just me and you." "We will." He kissed my hair. "We will. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Young Adult Literature quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Liquor, guns, motorcycle helmets (legislation had gone back and forth on that) - mainly white masculine pursuits - are fairly unregulated. But for women and black men, regulation is greater. Within given parameters, federal law gives women the right to decide whether or not to abort a fetus. But the state of Louisiana has imposed restrictions on clinics offering the procedure, which, if upheld in the U.S. Supreme Court, would prevent all but one clinic, in New Orleans, from offering women access to it. Any adult in the state can also be jailed for transporting a teenager out of state for the purposes of an abortion if the teen has not informed her parents. Young black males are regulated too. Jefferson Davis Parish passed a bill banning the wearing of pants in public that revealed "skin beneath their waists or their underwear" and newspaper accounts featured images, taken from the back, of two black teenage boys exposing large portions of their undershorts. The parish imposed a $50 fine for a first offense and $100 for a second. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Young Adult Literature quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
It is okay for your weakness to be exposed to the light. The light is there because your weakness doesn't serve you anymore. You are brave and you are letting it go… ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Young Adult Literature quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
The science of magic & the magic of science ~ P.M. Perry
Young Adult Literature quotes by P.M. Perry
I promise I'll protect you now. I won't let them touch you again. "
"I know you'll try."
I can do more than try. ~ Katie McGarry
Young Adult Literature quotes by Katie McGarry
I watched her shadow merge with the darker colours of the deep sea. ~ Erica Sehyun Song
Young Adult Literature quotes by Erica Sehyun Song
Reading is like skiing. When done well, when done by an expert, both reading and skiing are graceful, harmonious, activities. When done by a beginner, both are awkward, frustrating, and slow.
Learning to ski is one of the most humiliating experiences an adult can undergo (that is one reason to start young). After all, an adult has been walking for a long time; he knows where his feet are; he knows how to put one foot in front of the other in order to get somewhere. But as soon as he puts skis on his feet, it is as though he had to learn to walk all over again. He slips and slides, falls down, has trouble getting up, gets his skis crossed, tumbles again, and generally looks- and feels- like a fool.
Even the best instructor seems at first to be of no help. The ease with which the instructor performs actions that he says are simple but that the student secretly believes are impossible is almost insulting. How can you remember everything the instructors says you have to remember? Bend your knees. Look down the hill Keep your weight on the downhill ski. Keep your back straight, but nevertheless lean forward. The admonitions seem endless-how can you think about all that and still ski?
The point about skiing, of course, is that you should not be thinking about the separate acts that, together, make a smooth turn or series of linked turns- instead, you should merely be looking ahead of you down the hill, anticipating bumps and other skiers, enjoying the feel of th ~ Mortimer J. Adler
Young Adult Literature quotes by Mortimer J. Adler
There have always been and always will be people who want to help. They just don't know how. ~ Linda Armstrong
Young Adult Literature quotes by Linda    Armstrong
The percentage of couples who stay together after high school is, like, less than five percent, you guys. ~ Simone Elkeles
Young Adult Literature quotes by Simone Elkeles
It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer ... ~ Deborah Ann
Young Adult Literature quotes by Deborah Ann
I didn't know what you wanted from me, at times I wish I was enough but I don't give a fuck anymore. You had a fucking time bomb in your head, that always exploded on me. I couldn't keep up with you. You lead me on and on, all you did was have me run in a circle."
