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.

More quotes by 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
When you think back to your first kiss, your hair is perfect and she was wearing a cool outfit. We remember it with restraint and we remember it with style. We remember it as idealistically as you can think.
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. He doesn't like the boys in the family to touch him. But I'm very glad that I did it anyway in case he dies. I never got to do that with my Aunt Helen.
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 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 don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for thousands of years. Or just not exist.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.
Stephen Chbosky
Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
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
Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?
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
If you are in a movie theater, you can look two people down and they are laughing while you are laughing or you can look three people down and they love that song that you love. It is living proof that you are not alone.
Stephen Chbosky
Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.
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
The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.
Stephen Chbosky
I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay?
Stephen Chbosky
There are other people who have it a lot worse
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
I didn't know that other people thought things about me. I didn't know that they looked.
Stephen Chbosky
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
Stephen Chbosky
