More quotes by Lauren Oliver
The priests and the scientists are right about one thing: At our heart, at our base, we are no better than animals.
Lauren Oliver
So far I've seen the life studies packet used as (1) an umbrella, (2) a makeshift towel, (3) a pillow, and now this. I have never actually seen anyone study with it, which either means that everyone who graduates from Thomas Jefferson will be totally unprepared for life or that certain things can't be learned in bullet-point format.

Fear. Blame. Don't forget. Mom. I love you. -Lauren Oliver, Delerium
Lauren Oliver
The thing is, you don't get to know. It's not like you wake up with a bad feeling in your stomach. You don't see shadows where there shouldn't be any. You don't remember to tell your parents you love them or--in my case--remember to say good-bye to them at all.
Lauren Oliver
I'm starved for different light, a different sun,different sky.
Lauren Oliver
You came form different starts and you'll come to different ends.
Lauren Oliver
It's like there's a filter set up in my brain, except instead of making things better, it twists everything around so what comes out of my mouth is totally wrong, totally different from what I was thinking.
Lauren Oliver
Don't worry about what you're writing or whether it's good or even whether it makes sense.
Lauren Oliver
Amazing how hope lives. Without air or water, with hardly anything at all to nurture it.
Lauren Oliver
It's Connecticut: being like the people around you is the whole point.
Lauren Oliver
For a second I feel a rush of sadness: for the horizons that vanish behind us, for the people we leave behind, the tiny-doll selves that get stored away and ultimately buried.
Lauren Oliver
The second time my world exploded, it was also because of a word. A word that worked its way out of my throat and danced onto and out of my lips before I could think about it, or stop it. The question was: Will you meet me tomorrow? And the word was: Yes.
Lauren Oliver
Maybe all of these different possibilities exist at the same time, like each moment we live has a thousand other moments layered underneath it that look different.
Lauren Oliver
I’m with Julian,” I say at last. This, after all, is what I have chosen.
Lauren Oliver
You don't reach points in life at which everything is sorted out for us. I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue.
Lauren Oliver
If singing were a feeling it would be this, this light, this lifting, like laughing.
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
This is not the person I wanted to become: Hatred has carved a permanent place inside me, a hollow where things are so easily lost.
Lauren Oliver
That's what Zombieland is: frozen, calm, quiet.
Lauren Oliver
It's too late. I've seen things...I've lost things you can't understand.
