More quotes by Lauren Oliver
If you cross a line and nothing happens, the line loses meaning.
Lauren Oliver
Something must die so that others can live.
Lauren Oliver
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
But from the beginning, I knew that in a world where destiny was dead, I was destined, forever, to love him. Even though he didn't - though he couldn't - ever love me back.
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
It's as though the words are trapped, buried under past fears, past lives, like fossils compressed under layers of dirt.
Lauren Oliver
You came form different starts and you'll come to different ends.

Quiet through the grave go I or else beneath the graves I lie
Lauren Oliver
That's the beauty of the cure. No one mentions those lost, hot days in the field, when Thomas kissed Rachel's tears away and invented worlds just so he could promise them to her, when she tore the skin off her own arm at the thought of living without him.
Lauren Oliver
I'm used to a feeling of doubleness, of thinking one thing and having to do another, a constant tug-of-war.
Lauren Oliver
He is my world and my world is him and without him there is no world.
Lauren Oliver
Poetry isn't like any writing I've ever heard before. I don't understand all of it, just bits of images, sentences that appear half-finished, all fluttering together like brightly colored ribbons in the wind.
Lauren Oliver
Old words words that nearly brought me to my knees. Live free or die
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
Fred is officially the mayor of Portland now.
Lauren Oliver
Hate isn’t the most dangerous thing, he’d said. Indifference is.
Lauren Oliver
That's my favorite thing about him. I like to lie next to him when it's late, dark, and so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat. It's times like that when I'm sure that I'm in love.
Lauren Oliver
I start to back away before I do something wildly inappropriate, like jump on top of him.
