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
I'd rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I'd rather die loving Alex than live without him.
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
This is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot.
Lauren Oliver
Because I think you're right. You can make a difference. He told me experiences were kind of like fate, and fate usually came in the form of a test. He told me fate liked to be worshiped. It liked to see us fall on out knees before it offered to help us up... ♥

Finishing books - and leaving the world you've created - is always a kind of emotionally wrenching experience. I usually cry.
Lauren Oliver
The house, the pond, the tree-it was all both overwhelmingly familiar and different from what she remembered-smaller and shabbier, somehow.

Lauren Oliver
