I've been so used to thinking of what the borders are keeping out that I haven't considered that they're also penning us in.
Lauren Oliver
And a face above mine, white and beautiful, eyes as large as the moon. You saved me. A hand on my cheek, cool and dry. Why did you save me? Words welling up on a tide: No, the opposite.

Lauren Oliver
In one of the tents, Julian is sleeping. And in another: Alex
Lauren Oliver
It's not my fault I can't be like you, okay? I don't get up in the morning thinking the world is one big, shiny, happy place, okay? That's just not how I work. I don't think I can be fixed.
Lauren Oliver
You don't reach points in life at which everything is sorted out for us. I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue.
Lauren Oliver
But that's the problem with love - it acts on you, works through you, resists your attempts to control.
Lauren Oliver
Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge.
Lauren Oliver
I’ve always hated being looked at.
Lauren Oliver
This is the past: It drifts, it gathers. If you are not careful, it will bury you.
Lauren Oliver
I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.
Lauren Oliver
For a moment, my heart aches for him. I should never have asked him to join me here I should never have asked him to cross.
Lauren Oliver
Live free or die. Four words. Thirteen letters. Ridges, bumps, swirls under my fingertips. Another story. We cling tightly to it, and our belief turns it to truth.
