I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the I love you was it.
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
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
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
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
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
Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom. And a mom knowns this. And it gives her a sense of purpose. You get it?

but my dad said it was no excuse. But I love him! I had never seen my sister cry that much. No, you don't. I hate you! No, you don't. My dad can be very calm sometimes. He's my whole world. Don't ever say that about anyone again. Not even me. That was my mom.

That was always my hope that that is exactly what I would do. It was always part of the dream of this story - to write the novel and then direct the movie.
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
Try to be a filter, not a sponge.
Stephen Chbosky
I know that I brought this all on myself. I know that I deserve this. I'd do anything not to be this way. I'd do anything to make it up to everyone. And to not have to see a psychiatrist, who explains to me about being passive aggressive.
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
Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
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
Then, I turned around and walked to my room and closed my door and put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.
Stephen Chbosky
I was looking at the photographs and I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories.
Stephen Chbosky
And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.
Stephen Chbosky
I look at people holdings hands in the hallways, and I try to think how it all works. At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to ‘their song.’ In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guys’ jackets, and I think about the idea of property. And I wonder if anyone is really happy.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.
Stephen Chbosky
