More quotes by Stephen Chbosky

When we were all getting ready to leave, I walked up to my grandfather and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. He wiped my lip print off with his palm and gave me a look.

And I could see this boy doing his homework and thinking about my sister naked. And I could see them holding hands at football games that they do not watch.

I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You’re alive. And you stand up and see the lights and the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song in that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear… we are infinite.
Stephen Chbosky
I didn't know that other people thought things about me. I didn't know that they looked.

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.
