More quotes by Lauren Oliver
I start to back away before I do something wildly inappropriate, like jump on top of him.
Lauren Oliver
Love. I love you. I’ll always love you, my love. You are the love of my life.
Lauren Oliver
There's still always the possibility that I've gone totally, clinically cuckoo. But somehow I don't think so anymore. An article I once read said that crazy people don't worry about being crazy - that's the whole problem.
Lauren Oliver
If singing were a feeling it would be this, this light, this lifting, like laughing.
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
You came form different starts and you'll come to different ends.
Lauren Oliver
I cry for everything I abandoned and because I, too, have been left behind -- by Alex, by my mom, by time that has cut through our worlds and separated us.
Lauren Oliver
Sometimes I'm afraid to go to sleep because of what I'm leaving behind.
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
Because I think you're right. You can make a difference. He told me experiences were kind of like fate, and fate usually came in the form of a test. He told me fate liked to be worshiped. It liked to see us fall on out knees before it offered to help us up... ♥

I remember Lena's expression when he knocked on the door and how Alex had looked at her when she finally let him into the storeroom. I remember exactly what he was wearing, too, and the mess of his hair, the sneakers with their blue-tinged laces. His right shoe was untied. He didn't notice. He didn't notice anything but Lena.
Lauren Oliver
I close my eyes. An image flashes—emerging from the van with Julian after our escape from New York City believing, in that moment, that we had escaped the worst, that life would begin again for us. Instead life has only grown harder.
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
What glitters may not be gold and even wolves may smile and fools will be led by promises to their deaths.
Lauren Oliver
It's like a razor blade edging its way through my organs, shredding me, all I can think is: It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.
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.
Lauren Oliver
I start to follow her, and Alex grabs my hand. I'll find you, he says, watching me with the eyes I remember. I won't let you go again. I don't trust myself to speak. Instead I nod, hoping that he understands me. He squeezes my hand. Go, he says.
Lauren Oliver
The salt blowing off the sea makes the air feel textured and heavy.
Lauren Oliver
It was unfair that people could pretend to be one thing when they were really something else. That they would get you on their side and then do nothing but fail, and fail, and fail again. People should come with warnings, like cigarette packs: involvement would kill you over time.
Lauren Oliver
I'm starved for different light, a different sun,different sky.
Lauren Oliver
