More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.

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
Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.
Stephen Chbosky
They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.

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
It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.
Stephen Chbosky
I was in the shopping mall because that's where I go lately. For the last couple of weeks, I've been going there every day, trying to figure out why people go there. It's kind of a personal project.
Stephen Chbosky
Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I’ve been watching cable television and eating jello.
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
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
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
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
Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.
Stephen Chbosky
Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.
Stephen Chbosky
My sister was the one who told me where babies come from. My sister was also the one who laughed when I immediately asked her where babies go to.
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.
