7 Quotes by Robin York

Basta una decisione sbagliata, il flash di una fotocamera, e il lato positivo e perfetto della tua giovinezza è finito.Poi, però, sei tu che decidi. Ti guardi intorno, passi al setaccio le macerie e fai le tue scelte.Ti armi di amore, amici, sapere.Capisci chi sei. Quello che vuoi.Lo capisci, e poi lo persegui con tutte le tue forze.

His name feels like a secret, and now he's wearing it on his wrist. I want to know all about this girl who put it there. What she looks like. If she's got freckles, fair hair or dark, like his. If she's scrappy or etheral, funny or serious, scrape-kneed or ladylike. I know that she loves him, so I want to know everything else. But West doesn't want to share her with me. I shouldn't keep trying to scale these walls he puts up. I'm a terrible climber.

This year I've been figuring out who I am. I've been learning what I want, and it's the same as what I've always wanted, only I'm different. Leaders live and grow and learn. They run into dragons, get burned by them, temper their swords in the fire, and take them on. That's what I want to do. That's who I want to be. Not the girl cowering in her father's office. I want to be fierce.

Sometimes I hate the girl I was back then. It's like how, when you see a horror movie, you can't help but feel contempt for the virgin who goes for a walk in the woods after midnight. How can she be so stupid? Doesn't she know she's about to get gruesomely hacked to death?She should know. That's why it's so hard to watch. Because you want her to know. You want her to defend herself, and you look down on her for not knowing, even though obviously it's the guy who hacks her up who's at fault.

Every morning, whether I've slept or not, whether I've made it through the day without crying or given in and sobbed in the shower, where no one can hear me― the sun comes up, and I make my choice.

I have what it takes to claim what I want.

Poi, però, sei tu che decidi. Ti guardi intorno, passi al setaccio le macerie e fai le tue scelte.Ti armi di amore, amici, sapere.Capisci chi sei. Quello che vuoi.Lo capisci, e poi lo persegui con tutte le tue forze
