He was still in love with you, anyway.
Lauren Oliver
Is this freedom? Is it happiness? I don't know. I don't care anymore. It is different--it is being alive.
Lauren Oliver
A string of bright white buildinh, glistening like teeth over the slurping mouth of the ocean.
Lauren Oliver
I'm overwhelmed with sadness for everything that was lost, and filled with anger toward the people who took it away. My people-or at least, my old people. I don't know who I am anymore, or where I belong. That's not totally true...I know I belong with Alex.
Lauren Oliver
They’d already taken her from me once. I didn’t want to lose her again.
Lauren Oliver
I'd rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I'd rather die loving Alex than live without him.

There is nothing else for people to do. They do not think. They feel no passion, no hatred, no sadness they feel nothing but fear, and a desire to control. So they watch, and poke, and pry.

Love, the deadliest of all things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't. But that isn't it, exactly. The condemner and the condemned. The executioner the blade the last-minute reprieve the gasping breath and the rolling sky above you and the thank you, thank you, thank you God. Love: It will kill you and save you, both.
Lauren Oliver
It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.
Lauren Oliver
He's stuck with me and I'm stuck with him. We're stuck. That's what growing up is all about, I guess.
Lauren Oliver
only when it rains. and sometimes, too, when i remember.
Lauren Oliver
I guess there are some things you never get used to.
Lauren Oliver
There are some losses we never get over.
Lauren Oliver
....love and desire enjoy a symbiotic relationship, meaning that one cannot exist without the other. Desire is an enemy to contentment desire is illness, a feverish brain. Who can be considered healthy who wants? The very word want suggests a lack, an impoverishment, and that is what desire is: an impoverishment of the brain, a flaw, a mistake.

It's like high school holds two different worlds, revolving around each other an never touching the haves and the have-nots. I guess it's a good thing. High school is supposed to prepare you for the real world, after all.

And we did, and it wasn’t bad. We ate the whole stupid can, we were so hungry. And when it started to get dark you pointed to the sky, and told me there was a star for every thing you loved about me.” I’m gasping, feeling as though I am about to drown I’m reaching for him blindly, grabbing at his collar.
