“It's not that I think I'm some kind of prize. No, wait, that's not true. I do think I'm some kind of prize. I'm smart and occasionally funny and I'm pretty. I don't see why I should spend long dates with some guy who expresses himself in single syllables and wants to go to slasher movies.” quote by Michael Grant Katherine Applegate
