1.Maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us, you know? Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things, like wearing these pants, or getting to a new level of "dragon's lair", and making those count for more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it, and that's all we can ask for.

2.Some people show off their beauty because they want the world to see it. Others try to hide their beauty because they want the world to see something else.

3.His name is Eric. Did I mention he's one of the coaches and 100 percent off-limits? But I don't care. I've never wanted anything this much in my entire life. I'm still waiting for carma-poochie-ay to send me the pants. And in the meantime, I'm throwing all my pent-up energy into soccer although that only seems to get me into more trouble. What can I say?

That despite everything he's suffered, he can still look at life in the most uncomplicated way. I've never known that kind of faith. It makes me so sad that people like Kostas and Bridget who have lost everything can still be open to love, while I, who have lost nothing, am not.

5.Lena: We need a final rule. Carmen: Final rule. Lena: Okay, pants equal love. Bridget: Love your sisters and love yourself.

6.Together, it was as if we formed one single, complete person. Wild, unstoppable Bridget. Shy and beautiful Lena. Tibby, the rebel. And me, Carmen, the writer.
