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.
Lauren Oliver
We should be protected from the people who will leave us in the end, from all the people who will disappear or forget us.
Lauren Oliver
