More quotes by Lauren Oliver
The Wilds aren't safe anymore.
Lauren Oliver
Fred is officially the mayor of Portland now.
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
We wanted the freedom to love. We wanted the freedom to choose. Now we have to fight for it.
Lauren Oliver
People are like houses. They could open their doors. You could walk through their rooms and touch the objects hidden in their corners. But something--the structure, the wiring, the invisible mechanism that kept the whole thing standing--remai ned invisible, suggested only by the fact of its existing at all.
Lauren Oliver
Funny how certain things stay with you.
Lauren Oliver
All this time, I thought we were growing apart because I was leaving Lena behind. But really it was the reverse. She was learning to lie. She was learning to love.
Lauren Oliver
Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side.
Lauren Oliver
They didn’t get me, I should have said. They saved me.
Lauren Oliver
And you can't love, not fully, unless you are loved in return.
Lauren Oliver
I want to be healed and whole and perfect again, like a misshapen slab of iron that comes out of the fire glowing, glittering, razor-sharp.
Lauren Oliver
I just want to be normal, like everybody else. Are you sure that being like everybody else will make you happy?
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
And a face above mine, white and beautiful, eyes as large as the moon. You saved me. A hand on my cheek, cool and dry. Why did you save me? Words welling up on a tide: No, the opposite. Eyes the colour of a dawn sky, a crown of blond hair, so bright and white and blinding I could swear it was a halo.
Lauren Oliver
I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds they repair the broken skin.
Lauren Oliver
Maybe before you die, it's your ghosts you see.
Lauren Oliver
Let me tell you something about dying: it's not as bad as they says. it's the coming-back-to-life part that hurts.
Lauren Oliver
That's my favorite thing about him. I like to lie next to him when it's late, dark, and so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat. It's times like that when I'm sure that I'm in love.
Lauren Oliver
I still wanted to know why. As though somebody was going to answer that for me, as though any answer would be satisfying.
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.
