Once Mo had closed the gates, he returned to his little stone hut, and his half-eaten sandwich of butter and canned sardines, and his mug of thick hot chocolate, which every night he poured carefully into a thermos labeled COFFEE.

More quotes by Lauren Oliver
Things change after you die, though, I guess because dying is the loneliest thing you can do.
Lauren Oliver
But from the beginning, I knew that in a world where destiny was dead, I was destined, forever, to love him. Even though he didn't - though he couldn't - ever love me back.
Lauren Oliver
I need to live my life in the light of their deaths. I need to live.
Lauren Oliver
He looked at me like I was beautiful.
Lauren Oliver
Grief is like sinking, like being buried.
Lauren Oliver
And how she looked at me like I could save her from everything bad in he world. This was my secret: she was the one who saved me
Lauren Oliver
I'm not scared, if that's what you're wondering. The moment of death is full of sound and warmth and light shooting away, arcing up and up and up, and if singing were a feeling it would be this, this light, this lifting, like laughing... The rest you have to find out for yourself.
Lauren Oliver
I'm starved for different light, a different sun,different sky.
Lauren Oliver
Happiness is found when no one is looking
Lauren Oliver
Not gray, exactly. Right before the sun rises there's a moment when the whole sky goes this pale nothing color-not really gray but sort of, or sort of white, and I've always really liked it because it reminds me of waiting for something good to happen.
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
Live free or die.
Lauren Oliver
Alex is dead, do you hear me? All of that-what we felt, what it meant- that's done now, okay? Buried. Blown away.
Lauren Oliver
If you cross a line and nothing happens, the line loses meaning.
Lauren Oliver
Most of us won't see one another after graduation, and even if we do it will be different. We'll be different. We'll be adults--cured, tagged and labeled and paired and identified and placed neatly on our life path, perfectly round marbles set to roll down even, well-defined slopes.
Lauren Oliver
I love you. They can't take it away.
Lauren Oliver
I don't know how i stay on my feet, why i dont just shatter into dust right there, why my heart keeps beating when i want it so badly to stop
Lauren Oliver
That's the thing: We didn't really care. A world without love is also a world without stakes.
Lauren Oliver
But how could anyone who's ever seen a summer - big explosion of green and skies lit up electric with splashy sunsets, a riot of flowers and wind that smells like honey - pick the snow?
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.
