More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay?
Stephen Chbosky
I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees her is better than she actually is. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera.
Stephen Chbosky
I know that things get worse before they get better because that’s what my psychiatrist says, but this is a worse that feels too big.
Stephen Chbosky
I think they were afraid that some of us would try to kill ourselves or something because they looked very tense and one of them kept touching his beard.
Stephen Chbosky
I guess I'm pretty emotional.
Stephen Chbosky
It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.
Stephen Chbosky
It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe he didn’t really encourage me to do things, but he didn’t prevent me from doing them either. But after a while, I didn’t do things because I didn’t want him to think different about me. But the thing is, I wasn’t being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn’t really even know me?
Stephen Chbosky
Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
Stephen Chbosky
I really do love my sister. Especially when she's nice.
Stephen Chbosky
I want to be an author/director and I'm writing my second book now and I want to make a movie of it, and I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life.
Stephen Chbosky
It's too bad you're not gay. Then again, if you were gay, I would never date you. You're a mess. You know, Patrick? If I were gay, I'd want to date you. Of course.
Stephen Chbosky
Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.
Stephen Chbosky
So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.
Stephen Chbosky
Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born on a day that didn't snow.
Stephen Chbosky
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I know other people have it a lot worse. I do know that, but it's crashing in anyway, and I just can't stop thinking that the little kid eating french fries with his mom in the shopping mall is going to grow up and my sister.
Stephen Chbosky
It’s like when you’re excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means you’re happy, too.
Stephen Chbosky
Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?
Stephen Chbosky
And things were back to normal except we were just friends.
Stephen Chbosky
And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.
Stephen Chbosky
