So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.
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.

When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was 'The Graduate' or 'Rebel Without a Cause' or 'Dead Poet's Society,' they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That's what made them resonate with me.

Do you always think this much? It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
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
and for the first time in my life I understand the end of that poem. And I never wanted to. You have to believe me.
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
The fights are always the same

Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Stephen Chbosky
I wish I knew. It might make me miss him more clearly. It might have made sad sense.
Stephen Chbosky
And things were back to normal except we were just friends.
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Stephen Chbosky
I don't even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere.
Stephen Chbosky
The girl that introduced The Smiths' song 'Asleep' to me was an important musical influence that I met in college. From there it's been an ongoing journey of different bands at different times, introducing bands and songs to me.
