“I'm sorry, but I don't get it. If we're supposed to ignore everything that's wrong with our lives, then I can't see how we'll ever make things right.”

“I knew not to give the best of myself to the worst of people.” ― A. S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz
“All those people who are chained here thinking that their reputations matter and this little shit matters are so freaking shortsighted. Dude, what matters is that you're happy. What matters is your future. What matters is that we get out of here in one piece. What matters is finding the truth of our own lives, not caring about what other people think is the truth of us.” ― A.S. King, Ask the Passengers
“Because with Charlie, nothing was ever easy. Everything was windswept and octagonal and finger-combed. Everything was difficult and odd, and the theme songs all had minor chords.” ― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz

“I felt a mix of wanting to kill him and wanting to kiss him at the same time. When I thought of what true love must be like, I figured it must be like this, and not the stupid eighth grade infatuation most girls my age felt. True love includes an equal part of good and bad, but true sticks around and doesn't run off to Vegas with a podiatrist.” ― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz
“It seems the older people get, the more shit they ignore. Or, like Dad, they pay attention to stuff that distracts them from the more important things that they’re ignoring.” ― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz
“I was also built from delusional optimism and folly.” ― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz

“I am equal to a baby and to a hundred year old lady. I am equal to an airline pilot and a car mechanic. I am equal to you. You are equal to me. It's that universal.Except that it's not.” ― A.S. King, Ask the Passengers
“The simplest answer is to act.” ― A.S. King, Everybody Sees the Ants
“Not living your life is just like killing yourself, only it takes longer.” ― A.S. King, Glory O'Brien's History of the Future
“Is it okay to hate a dead kid? Even if you loved him once? Even if he was my best friend? Is it okay to hate him for being dead?” ― A.S. King, Please Ignore Vera Dietz
“Look, this is a loan. I don't know if love is something I will run out of one day. I don't know if I should be giving it all to you guys or not. Today, I feel like maybe I should have kept some for myself for days when no one else loves me.” ― A.S. King, Ask the Passengers
