Lauren Oliver
You see, we didn't know.
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
It's funny how you can know your friends so well, but you still end up playing the same games with them.
Lauren Oliver
It's amazing how close I have been, all this time, to my old life. And yet the distance that divides me from it is vast.
Lauren Oliver
The sparrows jumped before they knew how to fly, and they learned to fly only because they had jumped.
Lauren Oliver
Even the greatest movements on earth, have their beginnings with something small.
Lauren Oliver
Grief is like sinking, like being buried.
Lauren Oliver
He is my world and my world is him and without him there is no world.
Lauren Oliver
Popularity's a weird thing. You can't really define it, and it's not cool to talk about, but you know it when you see it. Like a lazy eye, or porn.
Lauren Oliver
The hours here are flat and round, disks of gray layered one on top of the other...they move slowly, at a grind, until it seems as though they are not moving at all. They are just pressing down.
Lauren Oliver
Of all the miracles Po had seen in the time and space of its death, Po thought this--the absorption of another, the carrying of it--was the most bewildering and remarkable of all. Whenever Bundle separated again, Po was left with an ache of sadness that reminded the ghost of the body it had left behind.

anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
Lauren Oliver
I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.
