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
Everything ends, people move on, they don't look back. It's how they should be.
Lauren Oliver
anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
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.
Lauren Oliver
Perhaps this was how the sparrows did it too perhaps they were looking so hard at the peaks and tips of the new rooftops coated with dew, and the vast new horizon, that they only forgot that they did not know how to fly until they were already in midair.
Lauren Oliver
Sarah: Not bad. You look almost human. Lena: Thanks. Sarah: I said almost. Lena: Well, then, almost thanks.
Lauren Oliver
I remember Lena's expression when he knocked on the door and how Alex had looked at her when she finally let him into the storeroom. I remember exactly what he was wearing, too, and the mess of his hair, the sneakers with their blue-tinged laces. His right shoe was untied. He didn't notice. He didn't notice anything but Lena.
Lauren Oliver
He was still in love with you, anyway.
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
Requiem has been controversial because people dont feel I gave it closure.
Lauren Oliver
As we're standing there I realize we're almost exactly the same height. We must look like the dark and light side of an Oreo cookie, and I think how just as easily it could have been the other way around. She could be blocking my path I could be trying to slip around her into the dark.
Lauren Oliver
Let me tell you something about dying: it's not as bad as they says. it's the coming-back-to-life part that hurts.
Lauren Oliver
One of the strangest things about life is that it will chug on, blind and oblivious, even as your private world - your little carved-out sphere - is twisting and morphing, even breaking apart.
Lauren Oliver
The last laugh, the last cup of coffee, the last sunset, the last time you jump through a sprinkler, or eat an ice-cream cone, or stick your tongue out to catch a snowflake. You just don't know.
Lauren Oliver
My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.
Lauren Oliver
They’d already taken her from me once. I didn’t want to lose her again.
Lauren Oliver
It was as though the darkness was a sheet of raw cookie dough and someone had just taken a cookie cutter and made a child-sized shape out of it.
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
It's an incredible thing, how you can feel so taken care of by someone and yet feel, also, like you would die or do anything just for the chance to protect him back.
Lauren Oliver
The sparrows jumped before they knew how to fly, and they learned to fly only because they had jumped.
Lauren Oliver
And you should hear the music. Incredible, amazing music, like nothing you've ever heard, music that almost takes your head off, you know? That makes you want to scream and jump up and down and break stuff and cry.
Lauren Oliver
