More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
I remembered this one time that I never told anybody about. The time we were walking. Just the three of us. I was in the middle. I don't remember where we were walking to or where we were walking from. I just remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere

I would die for you. But I won't live for you.
Stephen Chbosky
deep down...she's a good woman...you should be proud of her. When I told my mom about this, she just looked very sad because he could never say those things to her. Not ever. Not even when he walked her down the aisle.
Stephen Chbosky
All I could do is lie there and think about how much her voice changed when she asked me if she was pretty, and how much she changed when I answered.
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
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Stephen Chbosky
It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.
Stephen Chbosky
As people get older, we all know, you get married and you have a child and that becomes your family, but when you're 16 years old, especially, your family is your friends.
Stephen Chbosky
Charlie, you’re one of the most gifted people I’ve ever known. And I don’t mean in terms of my other students. I mean in terms of anyone I’ve ever met.
Stephen Chbosky
I've never understood the need people have to dictate morality to other people. I really don't know what it is. I don't know if it's fear or the belief that they know the only right way. Or maybe they see a lot of social ills and social decline, and they really think they have the elixir for it.
Stephen Chbosky
Patrick actually used to be popular before Sam bought him some good music.
Stephen Chbosky
And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter.
Stephen Chbosky
I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.
Stephen Chbosky
The inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Stephen Chbosky
I think on my next birthday, I'm going to buy her a present. I think that should be the tradition. The kid gets gifts from everybody, and he buys one present for his mom since she was there, too. I think that would be nice.
Stephen Chbosky
You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
Stephen Chbosky
They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.
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?
