More quotes by Lauren Oliver
Rainstorms are incredible: falling shards of glass, the air full of diamonds.
Lauren Oliver
Let me tell you something about dying: it's not as bad as they says. it's the coming-back-to-life part that hurts.
Lauren Oliver
This is the past: It drifts, it gathers. If you are not careful, it will bury you.
Lauren Oliver
This is what I want. This is the only thing I've ever wanted. Everything else—every single second of every single day that has come before this very moment, this kiss—has meant nothing.
Lauren Oliver
You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes.
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
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
Alex loved books. He was the one who first introduced me to poetry. That's another reason I can't read anymore.
Lauren Oliver
I close my eyes. An image flashes—emerging from the van with Julian after our escape from New York City believing, in that moment, that we had escaped the worst, that life would begin again for us. Instead life has only grown harder.
Lauren Oliver
Funny how certain things stay with you.
Lauren Oliver
Popularity's a weird thing. You can't really define it, and it's not cool to talk about, but you know it when you see it. Like a lazy eye, or porn.
Lauren Oliver
This is what happens when you try to help people. You get screwed.
Lauren Oliver
Please understand. Please forgive me. I prayed every day for you to be alive, until hope became painful. Don't hate me. I still love you.
Lauren Oliver
And then, just at that moment, when I'm no longer sure if I'm dreaming or awake or walking some valley in between where everything you wish for comes true, I feel the flutter of his lips on mine.
Lauren Oliver
No one can tell us no. No one can make us stop. We have picked each other and the rest of the world can go to hell.
Lauren Oliver
The first one, we’ll name Blue.
Lauren Oliver
Life isn't life if you just float through it.
Lauren Oliver
I love you. They can't take it away.
Lauren Oliver
It's a miracle I was able to get out of the house today. It's a miracle I'm even wearing pants, a double miracle I remembered to wear shoes.
Lauren Oliver
The house, the pond, the tree-it was all both overwhelmingly familiar and different from what she remembered-smaller and shabbier, somehow. It was like waking up to find that your reflection in the mirror had aged overnight, or had sprouted a new mole: You were forced to admit that things changed, whether you gave them permission to or not.
Lauren Oliver
