I get that rush that comes when you know you're doing something wrong and are getting away with it, like stealing from the school cafeteria of getting tipsy at a family holiday without anyone knowing it.

More quotes by Lauren Oliver
anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
Lauren Oliver
I know what the problem is, of course. The disorientation, the distraction, the difficulty focusing - all classic Phase One signs of deliria. But I don't care. If pneumonia felt this good I'd stand out in the snow in the winter with bare feet and no coat, or march into the hospital and kiss pneumonia patients
Lauren Oliver
Feelings aren't forever. Time waits for no one, but progress waits for man to enact it.
Lauren Oliver
I just want to be normal, like everybody else. Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?
Lauren Oliver
that's what it was like waking up in the crypts. no-longer-dead. but without her. like burning alive.

The thing is, you don't get to know. It's not like you wake up with a bad feeling in your stomach. You don't see shadows where there shouldn't be any. You don't remember to tell your parents you love them or--in my case--remember to say good-bye to them at all.
Lauren Oliver
only when it rains. and sometimes, too, when i remember.
Lauren Oliver
The first time I saw you, at the Governor, I handn't been to watch the birds at the border in years. But that's what you reminded me of. You were jumping up, and you were yelling something, and your hair was coming loose from your ponytail, and you were so fast... He shakes his head. Just a flash, and then you were gone, Exactly like a bird.
Lauren Oliver
There's a place for everything and everyone, you know. That is the mistake they make above. They think that only certain people have a place. Only certain kinds of people belong. The rest is waste. But even waste must have a place. Otherwise it will clog and clot, and rot and fester.
Lauren Oliver
For a second I feel a rush of sadness: for the horizons that vanish behind us, for the people we leave behind, the tiny-doll selves that get stored away and ultimately buried.
Lauren Oliver
The priests and the scientists are right about one thing: At our heart, at our base, we are no better than animals.
Lauren Oliver
I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.
Lauren Oliver
you have to understand. i wasn't just thinking of me. i was thinking of her, too.
Lauren Oliver
We are always being pushed and squeezed down one road or another. We have no choice but to step forward, and then step forward again, and then step forward again suddenly we find ourselves on a road we haven't chosen at all.
Lauren Oliver
Nothing has ever been so painful or delicious as being so close to him and being unable to do anything about it: like eating ice cream so fast on a hot day you get a splitting headache.
Lauren Oliver
