The Washingtonienne
these are my fav quotes from the book i just read... The Washingtonienne by Jessica Cutler. Read it people, it's a must!
"That was one big difference between me and him: I wanted to believe that he was a good person, and he wanted to believe that I was just another girl he could screw over. I had to assume the worst about people because I knew firsthand what horrible things they were capable of.
Nevertheless, I was really an optimist deep down inside. Despite everything that life had shown me, I always believed in love: I wanted someone to take me away from these simple feelings I knew.
I was just another stupid girl waiting for Prince Charming to give me true love’s first kiss, and I hated myself for it."
"I never wanted to fall in love. Only stupid girls compromised themselves that way, and I was too smart to sell myself short.
But then again, I never could resist the urge that I was missing out on something. If there really was something to this love thing, I was going to find out about it.
Because as much as I hated those desperate women who chased after love, I finally had to admit that I was one of them."
