Alex loved books. He was the one who first introduced me to poetry. That's another reason I can't read anymore.

More quotes by Lauren Oliver
The salt blowing off the sea makes the air feel textured and heavy.
Lauren Oliver
Then I think of the dark, and the lights, and the roaring, and Juliet, and before I can think of anything else, I fight the final few steps to the door and step out into the cold, where the rain is still coming down like shards of moonlight, or like steel.
Lauren Oliver
I will make a pact with you: I will do it if you will do it, always and forever. Take down the walls.
Lauren Oliver
Love is a kind of possession. It’s a poison.
Lauren Oliver
you have to understand. i wasn't just thinking of me. i was thinking of her, too.
Lauren Oliver
It was unfair that people could pretend to be one thing when they were really something else. That they would get you on their side and then do nothing but fail, and fail, and fail again. People should come with warnings, like cigarette packs: involvement would kill you over time.
Lauren Oliver
The question was: Will you meet me tomorrow? And the word was: Yes.
Lauren Oliver
But that's the problem with love - it acts on you, works through you, resists your attempts to control.
Lauren Oliver
It's the way he says my name: like music.
Lauren Oliver
My first kiss. A new kind of kiss, like the new kind of music still playing, softly, in the distance - wild and arrhythmic, desperate. Passionate.
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
That's the beauty of the cure. No one mentions those lost, hot days in the field, when Thomas kissed Rachel's tears away and invented worlds just so he could promise them to her, when she tore the skin off her own arm at the thought of living without him.
Lauren Oliver
Direction, like time, is a general thing, the deprived of boundaries and borders. It is an endless process interception and reinterception, doubling back and adjusting.
Lauren Oliver
Nothing exists but him.
Lauren Oliver
Like I've been sketched by an amateur artist: if you don't look too closely, it's all right, but start focusing and all the smudges and mistakes become really obvious.
Lauren Oliver
When he speaks again, I can tell that he's smiling. So I guess we saved each other.
Lauren Oliver
An eye for an eye. And the whole world goes blind, Coral puts in quietly.
Lauren Oliver
Most people don't want to be saved. Besides, if you keep bailing everybody out, they'll never learn to paddle on their own.
Lauren Oliver
Lindsay calls them the Pugs: pretty from far away, ugly up close.
Lauren Oliver
There's still always the possibility that I've gone totally, clinically cuckoo. But somehow I don't think so anymore. An article I once read said that crazy people don't worry about being crazy - that's the whole problem.
