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
It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.
Lauren Oliver
I don't know where to go. I don't know what comes now. Don't worry, Will said. We'll figure something out. Liesl managed to smile at him. She liked that word: *we*. It sounded warm and open, like a hug.
Lauren Oliver
This is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot.
Lauren Oliver
Welcome to the free world. We give people the power to choose. They can even choose the wrong thing. Beautiful, isn't it?
