03c. 1997 ADThere are some people in your life who bring back old memories. And there are others - your first kiss, your first love, your first sex - who, the moment you see them, bring a spark...and something far more potent. They bring back your old life and with that, potential. And possibilities. And the feeling that if you were back in that time, life could be so very different from where you're stuck right now. That's the most tantalizing thing....I want my potential back.Brad Meltzer / quote ↗
04c. 1997 ADShe dumped me for the worst reason of all. For absolutely no reason at all...I mean, if she fell in love with someone else, or I did something wrong, or I let her down in some unforgivable way...That, I'd understand, right? But instead, she said...it wasn't anything. Not a single thing. It was just me. I was nice. I was kind. We just...she didn't see the connection anymore. I think she thought I was boring. And the cruelest part is, when someone says something mean about you, you know when they're right.Brad Meltzer / quote ↗
05c. 1997 ADNot every President is a great speaker. Not every President is a great thinker. But in the modern era, every single President is a master of one thing: eye contact.Brad Meltzer / quote ↗
06c. 1997 ADDon't go to eighth grade...don't talk about something old...don't bring up old memories that have nothing to do with who we are now. THIS is all that matters! TODAY.Brad Meltzer / quote ↗
