Lauren Oliver
This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors.
Lauren Oliver

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
I've been so used to thinking of what the borders are keeping out that I haven't considered that they're also penning us in.
Lauren Oliver
If you take, we will take back. Steal from us, and we will rob you blind. When you squeeze, we will hit. This is the way the world is made now.
Lauren Oliver
Nobody ever said life was fair.
