The Lonely Hearts Club

And anything that might hurt me would just make me stronger in the end.

And Nate? You kiss like a slobbering dog, you have bad breath, and you wouldn't know how to punch the right buttons on a girl if we came with manuals. Happy Thanksgiving, Jackass.

I wondered if it would've been too subtle to wear a T-shirt that said thank you for your interest, but I am no longer dating. I knew Todd, wasn't a huge fan of reading, but he did like to stare at my shirts.

I would, for once, focus on me

I tried to remember what Rita had said about being a bigger person. I could either calmly tell him that he was mistaken or let him have it. I could be the bigger person or I could be like any normal sixteen-year-old. Like there really was a choice. "First off, you ever call me a babe again and no medical team on earth will be able to tell that you were once a guy." I was only sixteen after all.

There was only one thing I could do to ease the pain. I turned to the only four guys who'd never let me down. The only four guys who'd never broken my heart, who'd never disappointed me. John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Anybody who has ever clung to a song like a musical life raft will understand. Or put on a song to bring out an emotion or a memory. Or had a soundtrack playing in their head to drown out a conversation or a scene.

You've got to hide your love away. You can't just hide your feelings. You have to destroy them. Kill them before they kill you.

I found out the hard way that fairy tales and true love don't exist

He was a guy. A guy guy. As far as I was concerned, he probably had the dead bodies of small children and puppies hidden in his locker.

Tracy danced over to me. "So, if I have to pretend to be a Beatle, can I be Yoko?

3) Saturday night is the official meeting night of Penny Lane's Lonely Hearts Club. Attendance is mandatory. Exceptions are for family emergencies and bad hair days only.

That's impossible," I replied. Diane Monroe and Ryan Bauer had been together for four years. They were supposed to get married, have 2.4 kids, and have a 50 percent chance of living happily ever after.

I could take chances with my heart and I would be able to bounce back, and anything that might hurt me would just make me stronger in the end. And I did deserve everything I wanted-somebody who would appreciate me, somebody I could trust, someone who liked me for me.

2) Members will attend events together as a group, including, but not limited to, Homecoming, Prom, parties, and other couply events, despite possibly being labeled as freaks and getting jealous looks from guys who wish we were their hot dates, but instead have to settle for some lame wannabe.

Tracy and I were among the few girls left in our class who hadn't made it to the table as Todd's girl of the moment. I'd never had the desire to be part of their demented version of Noah's Ark, where you could only survive if you were paired up with a member of the opposite sex. If I had to choose between dating Todd and missing the boat, I was fully prepared to drown.

And I did deserve everything I wanted -- somebody who would appreciate me, someone I could trust, someone who liked me for me.

... me paso tanto tiempo esforzándome para no decepcionar a la gente… Y qué pasa con lo que yo quiero, ¿eh?

I couldn't help but wonder why it was that a guy could find two good girls to date at the same time, when we girls couldn't even find one decent guy.

Solo que no fue el cuento de hadas que yo había esperado. Porque los chicos cambian.Mienten. Te pisotean el corazón. A fuerza de desengaños, descubrí que ni los cuentos de hadas ni el amor verdadero existen. Que el chico perfecto no existe.

Si nos unimos,podemos hacer cualquier cosa. Sólo debemos tener fe en nosotras mismas. Y nos merecemos todo aquellos que queramos" "Si me merecía lo que más deseaba: alguien que me valorara, alguien en quien pudiera confiar, alguien que me apreciara por mí misma" "A ver, si no recuerdo mal, hubo un tiempo en que tú mismo querías salir conmigo, pero se que este cerebro que tengo lo impidió

I was just reminding myself that I could get over heartbreak if it happened another time. ... I'll be back again. Yes, I would be back. I could take chances with my heart and I would be able to bounce back, and anything that might hurt me would just make me stronger in the end. And I did deserve everything I wanted-- somebody who would appreciate me, someone I could trust, someone who liked me for me.

You’ve got to hide your love away: tienes que ocultar tu amor. Y no sólo esconder tus sentimientos. Tienes que destruirlos. Matarlos antes de que ellos te maten a ti

Come on, Penny. Rita came over and Nate loosened his grasp. We've got to go to the kitchen. She turned to Nate. You know, the room with all the sharp knives.

I think that evening was the beginning of the end of us. Not because we were going to have sex, but because I think we both realized that we were forcing ourselves to be something that neither of us wanted. - Diane

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Garbage gets dumped, and now so have you. - Brian (to Amy)

You wouldn't know how to pinch the right buttons on a girl if we came with manuals.

No podía evitar preguntarme por qué un chico conseguía encontrar dos chicas estupendas con las que salir simultáneamente, cuando nosotras las chicas no éramos capaces de encontrar un solo chico pasable

«Mierda, estoy en una cita con Ryan Bauer. ¡Y se supone que no puedo salir con chicos!». Y eso no era todo. También había asegurado delante de todo el Club de los Corazones Solitarios que no iba a ser una cita en plan romántico.
