Sarah Dessen Quotes

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

The strength of any plan depends on the time. Circumstances and things eternally shift and change.

What worked yesterday doesn't always work today.

Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.

What seems so necessary today may not even be desirable tomorrow.

Sometimes we make decisions about our life and they feel like the right decision at the time. No, they are the right decision at the time. But that doesn't mean they'll be the right decision forever.

Some people would rather change and some people don't. Some people don't want to be forced to stay in a certain atmosphere.
