Lauren Oliver
Grief is like sinking, like being buried.
Lauren Oliver

Lauren Oliver
It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day - you can think you know them - and then you fшnd out you hardly know them at all.
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
It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
Lauren Oliver
