Each step is more difficult than the last the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone. You must hurt or be hurt.
Lauren Oliver
I need to live my life in the light of their deaths. I need to live.
Lauren Oliver
It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.

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
Now I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

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.

The devil stole into the Garden of Eden. He carried with him the disease - amor deliria nervosa - in the form of a seed. It grew and flowered into a magnificent apple tree, which bore apples as bright as blood. -From Genesis: A Complete History of the World and the Known Universe, by Steven Horace, PhD, Harvard University

I wonder whether she was sorry for leaving us behind.
Lauren Oliver
I remember Lena's expression when he knocked on the door and how Alex had looked at her when she finally let him into the storeroom. I remember exactly what he was wearing, too, and the mess of his hair, the sneakers with their blue-tinged laces. His right shoe was untied. He didn't notice. He didn't notice anything but Lena.

The first time I saw you, at the Governor, I handn't been to watch the birds at the border in years. But that's what you reminded me of. You were jumping up, and you were yelling something, and your hair was coming loose from your ponytail, and you were so fast... He shakes his head. Just a flash, and then you were gone, Exactly like a bird.

This is not the person I wanted to become: Hatred has carved a permanent place inside me, a hollow where things are so easily lost.

That's when you realize that most of it-life, the relentless mechanism of existing-isn't about you. It doesn't include you at all. It will thrust onward even after you've jumped the edge. Even after you're dead.
Lauren Oliver
This is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot.
Lauren Oliver
My first kiss. A new kind of kiss, like the new kind of music still playing, softly, in the distance - wild and arrhythmic, desperate. Passionate.
Lauren Oliver
I love you. Remember. And someday, I will find you again.
Lauren Oliver
