Sarah Dessen Quotes

I think you'd best make your peace with the past since you've come this far. I think you know by now that you won't go back again.

What was past was past. I suppose that was the general attitude.

Something special is ending, and you’re sad, but you can’t be that sad because, hey, it was good while it lasted, and there’ll be other vacations, other good times.

The past is past; what's gone on has gone on.

I won't cling to the past.

Whatever happened in the past is in the past.

You can't regret anything - it's over with.

They're just memories now. Time to write them off.

If I could undo what's been done, But I guess everyone is living, With water and bridges.

His door is closed behind me. It's staying closed. He's letting me go. I think I've made myself very clear, but no ones stepping forward to stop me. A lot of you cared, just not enough. And that...that is what i needed to find out. And I did find out. And I'm sorry.

I was wrong. Those days are over and they ought to be over.

It's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me.
