More quotes by Lauren Oliver
Love is a kind of possession. It’s a poison.
Lauren Oliver
I know the past will drag you backward and down, have you snatching at whispers of wind and the gibberish of trees rubbing together, trying to decipher some code, trying to piece together what was broken. It's hopeless. The past is nothing but a weight. It will build inside you like a stone.
Lauren Oliver
Kent? I say, and my voice seems to have to rise from inside the fog, taking forever to get from my brain to my mouth. Yeah? Promise you'll stay here with me? I say. I promise, he whispers.
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
Please understand. Please forgive me. I prayed every day for you to be alive, until hope became painful. Don't hate me. I still love you.
Lauren Oliver
I guess there are some things you never get used to.
Lauren Oliver
The salt blowing off the sea makes the air feel textured and heavy.
Lauren Oliver
No guy in his right mind would ever choose me when there are people like Hana in the world: It would be like settling for a stale cookie when what you really want is a big bowl of ice cream, whipped cream and cherries and chocolate sprinkles included.
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
But that's the problem with love - it acts on you, works through you, resists your attempts to control.
Lauren Oliver
Why couldn't you let me have it? Why did you have to take it? Why did you always take everything?
Lauren Oliver
Nothing has ever been so painful or delicious as being so close to him and being unable to do anything about it: like eating ice cream so fast on a hot day you get a splitting headache.
Lauren Oliver
Fred is officially the mayor of Portland now.
Lauren Oliver
The tunnels may be long, and twisted, and dark but you are supposed to go through them.
Lauren Oliver
This was what true fear was--that you could never know other people, not completely. That you were always just guessing blind.
Lauren Oliver
Nothing exists but him.
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
That is the rule of the Wilds: You must be bigger and stronger and tougher. You must hurt or be hurt.
Lauren Oliver
I get that rush that comes when you know you're doing something wrong and are getting away with it, like stealing from the school cafeteria of getting tipsy at a family holiday without anyone knowing it.
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
