Whats the best quote in speak?

There are so many great quotes in this book. Melinda is such an interesting character with her dark wit and clever musings about life. I like this quote about how she sees her dramatic change out of the innocence of childhood to the pain of adolescents.

My room belongs to an alien. It is a postcard of who I was in the fifth grade. It is a demented phase when I thought that roses should cover everything and pink was a great color. (chapter 6)
