More quotes by 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. Eyes the colour of a dawn sky, a crown of blond hair, so bright and white and blinding I could swear it was a halo.

...and once at Hana's house, when we stole some blackberry liqueur from her parents' liquor cabinet and drank until the ceiling started spinning overhead. Hana was laughing and giggling, but I didn't like it, didn't like the sweet sick taste in my mouth or the way my thoughts seemed to break apart like a mist in the sun.

People are like ants: Just a few of them give all the orders. And most of them spend their lives getting squashed.

Things would get difficult again. But that was okay too. The bravery was in moving forward, no matter what.

I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. It's hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build inside you like a stone.

And when we are with Alex, I might as well not be there. They speak in a language of whispers and giggles and secrets their words are like a fairy-tale tangle of thorns, which place a wall between us.
Lauren Oliver
Everywhere he touches is fire. My whole body is burning up, the two of us becoming twin points of the same bright white flame.
Lauren Oliver
Everything in me feels fluttering and free, like I could take off from the ground at any second. Music, I think, he makes me feel like music.

The salt blowing off the sea makes the air feel textured and heavy.
Lauren Oliver
And there it is: Even though we’re standing in the same patch of sun-drenched pavement, we might as well be a hundred thousand miles apart.
Lauren Oliver
He is my world and my world is him and without him there is no world.
Lauren Oliver
I feel a flash of grief so intense it almost makes me cry out: not for what I lost, but for the chances I missed.
Lauren Oliver
But if you do believe, then you already know all about magic.

It was all very strange, Mr. Gray thought, as he wiped the coffee canister clean with a sponge. Very, very mysterious. You were born you lived a whole life and at the end, you wound up in a coffee canister. Ah, well, he said out loud quietly. That's just the way things are. Life's a funny business. Death, he supposed, was the punch line.
Lauren Oliver
I wonder whether she was sorry for leaving us behind.
Lauren Oliver
And for a moment―for a split second―everything else falls away, the whole pattern and order of my life, and a huge joy crests in my chest. I am no one, and I owe nothing to anybody, and my life is my own.
Lauren Oliver
Nobody ever said life was fair.
