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.

More quotes by Lauren Oliver
Time jumps. It leaps. It pours away like water through fingers.
Lauren Oliver
I can admit, now, that I must have loved Lena. Not in an Unnatural way, but my feelings for her must have been a kind of sickness. How can someone have the power to shatter you to dust--and also to make you feel so whole?
Lauren Oliver
It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day - you can think you know them - and then you fшnd out you hardly know them at all.
Lauren Oliver
But...books are so much more. Some of them are webs you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch. And some of them―the best ones―are doors.
Lauren Oliver
My heart is fluid and soaring. There's no longer any space between heartbeats.
Lauren Oliver
Love: It will kill you and save you, both
Lauren Oliver
There is no before. There is only now, and what comes next.
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?
Lauren Oliver
Not gray, exactly. Right before the sun rises there's a moment when the whole sky goes this pale nothing color-not really gray but sort of, or sort of white, and I've always really liked it because it reminds me of waiting for something good to happen.
Lauren Oliver
We are always being pushed and squeezed down one road or another. We have no choice but to step forward, and then step forward again, and then step forward again suddenly we find ourselves on a road we haven't chosen at all.
Lauren Oliver
The Wilds aren't safe anymore.
Lauren Oliver
anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
Lauren Oliver
The thing is, you don't get to know. It's not like you wake up with a bad feeling in your stomach. You don't see shadows where there shouldn't be any. You don't remember to tell your parents you love them or--in my case--remember to say good-bye to them at all.
Lauren Oliver
It was as though the darkness was a sheet of raw cookie dough and someone had just taken a cookie cutter and made a child-sized shape out of it.
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
This is the past: It drifts, it gathers. If you are not careful, it will bury you.
Lauren Oliver
It's amazing how close I have been, all this time, to my old life. And yet the distance that divides me from it is vast.
Lauren Oliver
Even the greatest movements on earth, have their beginnings with something small.
Lauren Oliver
But that's the problem with love - it acts on you, works through you, resists your attempts to control.
Lauren Oliver
They didn’t get me, I should have said. They saved me.
