"The complete bottom has fallen out of my life."
— Beatrice Sparks (Annie's Baby: The Diary of Anonymous, A Pregnant Teenager)

"I'm partly somebody else trying to fit in and say the right things and do the right thing and be in the right place and wear what everybody else is wearing. Sometimes I think we're all trying to be shadows of each other, trying to buy the same records and everything even if we don't like them. Kids are like robots, off an assembly line, and I don't want to be a robot!"
— Beatrice Sparks (Go Ask Alice)

"How can thoughts hurt so much when they aren't even physical?"
— Beatrice Sparks (Treacherous Love: The Diary of an Anonymous Teenager)
