“My goal in life is to get as old as I possibly can, to have as much fun as I possibly can, and then die.”

“If Jenks and she were to be believed, I structured my life to be as horrific as possible to have fun in bed, but having Ivy mad at me might be too much for even me right now.”

“I tried to step back quickly but James grabbed my hand. "C'mon," he said "this'll be fun." Geez... What's your definition of fun? Cuz mines not to possibly get killed my first day here. Or maybe that's just a personal goal, but still...”

“My goal in life is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared”

“Just as Sarah Keeler had taught me that children die, Wendy taught me that you don't have to wade through the insanity; you can get off the bus. This scared me so much that a sweaty panic swept over me. From that moment on I knew it was possible to end my own life. (157)”

“Sometimes the best goal you can set is just to get out of bed every day. If you can succeed at this, then other things become possible.”
