Quotes 

• Angela : Just pop it already and get on with your life.

  Angela : But won't that cause a scar?

  Rayanne : What are you talking about? Everything causes a scar - LIVING causes a scar.

• Angela : The worst feeling is suddenly realizing that you don't measure up. And that in the past when you thought you did, you were a fool.

• [last lines] 

  Angela : Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison. And the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while. And admit the truth. That when you really looked closely, people are so strange, and so complicated, that they're actually... beautiful. Possibly even me.

• Angela : [narration]  It had become the focus of everything. It was all I could feel, all I could think about. It blotted out the rest of my face, the rest of my life. Like the zit had become... the truth about me.

• Angela : [to her mom]  You expect me to be beautiful. Because you're beautiful. Well I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm just not.
