The original theme for this was was “Fictional Crushes.” Since I’ve never developed a crush on a fictional character, I tweaked it a little to be quotes on the topic of crushes instead.
“It’s just that I don’t want to be somebody’s crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.”
― The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone… but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.”
―
“Do you know what it’s like to like someone so much you can’t stand it and know that they’ll never feel the same way?”
― To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
“Luke used to give me butterflies. Noah spawned mutant pterodactyls.”
― Pushing the Limits
“It’s like I’m thirteen again and he’s my crush. All I’m aware of in this entire roomful of people is him. Where he is, what he’s doing, who he’s talking to.”
― Remember Me?
“She definitely has a crush on you. It’s about the size of Jupiter.”
― Winter
“You’re falling now. You’re swimming. This is not
harmless. You are not
breathing.”
― Crush
“I wondered if this was the way old crushes died, with a whimper, slowly, and then, just like that—gone.”
― The Summer I Turned Pretty
“I don’t entirely understand how anyone gets a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. It just seems like the most impossible odds. You have to have a crush on the exact right person at the exact right moment. And they have to like you back. A perfect alignment of feelings and circumstances. It’s almost unfathomable that it happens as often as it does.”
― The Upside of Unrequited
“She blushed and so did he. She greeted him in a faltering voice, and he spoke to her without knowing what he was saying.”
― Candide
I can well remember when I was thirteen and I fell in love every thirty seconds. These are fabulous quotes. I like how you tweaked the topic.
Thank you! 🙂
I loved both Pushing the Limits and The Upside of Unrequited. Even though I rarely read YA anymore, Katie McGarry remains a favorite. She creates some amazing characters.
Very cool!
