It's like a razor blade edging its way through my organs, shredding me, all I can think is: It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.

More quotes by Lauren Oliver
That was what her parents did not understand—and had never understood—about stories. Liza told herself storied as though she was weaving and knotting an endless rope. Then, no matter how dark or terrible the pit she found herself in, she could pull herself out, inch by inch and hand over hand, on the long rope of stories.

Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side.
Lauren Oliver
That's what time does: We stand stubbornly like rocks while it flows all around us, believing that we are immutable - and all the time we're being carved, and shaped, and whittled away.

Raven has lost deeply, again and again, and she, too, has buried herself. There are pieces of her scattered all over. Her heart is nestled next to a small set of bones buried beside a frozen river, which will emerge with the spring thaw, a skeleton ship rising out of the water”.

I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.

Each step is more difficult than the last the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone. You must hurt or be hurt.

A string of bright white buildinh, glistening like teeth over the slurping mouth of the ocean.
Lauren Oliver
This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors.
Lauren Oliver
Because if it weren’t for me, Lena and Alex would never have been caught at all. I told on them. I was jealous.
Lauren Oliver
This is pretty much the answer to every problem you encounter in suburbia: plant a tree, and hope you don't see anyone's privates.
Lauren Oliver
This is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot.

It's Connecticut: being like the people around you is the whole point.

Welcome to the free world. We give people the power to choose. They can even choose the wrong thing. Beautiful, isn't it?
Lauren Oliver
Sometimes I feel like she deserves a best friend who is just a little more special.
Lauren Oliver
People are like houses. They could open their doors. You could walk through their rooms and touch the objects hidden in their corners. But something--the structure, the wiring, the invisible mechanism that kept the whole thing standing--remai ned invisible, suggested only by the fact of its existing at all.

Maybe before you die, it's your ghosts you see.
Lauren Oliver
It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
Lauren Oliver
The house, the pond, the tree-it was all both overwhelmingly familiar and different from what she remembered-smaller and shabbier, somehow. It was like waking up to find that your reflection in the mirror had aged overnight, or had sprouted a new mole: You were forced to admit that things changed, whether you gave them permission to or not.
