Hope keeps you alive.
Lauren Oliver
It occurs to me that for a long time she has been doing her own version of resisting.
Lauren Oliver
I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds they repair the broken skin.
Lauren Oliver
That's the thing: We didn't really care. A world without love is also a world without stakes.
Lauren Oliver
I said, I prefer the ocean when it's gray. Or not really gray. A pale, in-between color. It reminds me of waiting for something good to happen.
Lauren Oliver
I start to back away before I do something wildly inappropriate, like jump on top of him.
Lauren Oliver
It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.
Lauren Oliver
Nothing exists but him.
Lauren Oliver
The question was: Will you meet me tomorrow? And the word was: Yes.
Lauren Oliver
It's an incredible thing, how you can feel so taken care of by someone and yet feel, also, like you would die or do anything just for the chance to protect him back.
Lauren Oliver
I'm overwhelmed with sadness for everything that was lost, and filled with anger toward the people who took it away. My people-or at least, my old people. I don't know who I am anymore, or where I belong. That's not totally true...I know I belong with Alex.
Lauren Oliver
anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
Lauren Oliver
But hope got in, no matter how hard and fast I tried to stomp it out. Like these tiny fire ants we used to get in Portland. No matter how fast you liked them, there were always more, a steady stream of them, resistant, ever-multiplying. Maybe, the hope said. Maybe.
Lauren Oliver
Happiness is found when no one is looking
Lauren Oliver
Funny how time heals. Like that bullet in my ribs. It's there, I know it's there, but I can barely feel it at all anymore.
Lauren Oliver
For the first time in my life I actually feel sorry for Carol. I'm only seventeen years old, and I already know something she doesn't know: I know that life isn't life if you just float through it. I know that the whole point- the only point- is to find things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.
Lauren Oliver
People could push and pull at you, and poke you, and probe as deep as they could go. They could even tear you apart, bit by bit. But at the heart and root and soul of you, something would remain untouched.
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
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
Everything looks beautiful. The Book of Shhh says that deliria alters your perception, disables your ability to reason clearly, impairs you from making sound judgments. But it does not tell you this: that love will turn the whole world into something greater than itself.
Lauren Oliver
