More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people participate.
Stephen Chbosky
Why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't even really know me?
Stephen Chbosky
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. And I could see this boy throwing up in the bushes at a party house. And I could see my sister putting up with it. And I felt very bad for both of them.
Stephen Chbosky
Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?
Stephen Chbosky
I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.
Stephen Chbosky
Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.
Stephen Chbosky
Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
Stephen Chbosky
Music is a vital part of my life, and it has been since I was a kid. It helped me find my identity as a person, it helped me find my identity as an artist, and it helped me get in touch with emotions that I didn't know I had.
Stephen Chbosky
I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live.
Stephen Chbosky
The gift from my Secret Santa wasn't anything special. That makes me sad. I bet you anything that Mary Elizabeth is my Secret Santa because only she would give me socks.
Stephen Chbosky
I don't think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day, but when it happens, it's nice. It really is.
Stephen Chbosky
It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam.
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 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 wish I knew. It might make me miss him more clearly. It might have made sad sense.
Stephen Chbosky
I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the I love you was it.
