Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.

On Friday night, I was reading my new book, but my brain got tired, so I decided to watch some television instead.

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.

So what's the point of using words nobody else knows or can say comfortably? I just don't understand that.
Stephen Chbosky

Those writers that have zero say in their movie adaptations have zero say because they sell it. If you don't sell it, and you do it yourself, and you wait until the screenplay is ready, you don't have to worry about that.

It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.

I don't know if it's better to be close with your daughter or make sure that she has a better life than you do.

Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.

Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.

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

More like the movie where the guy meets a smart girl who wears a lot of sweaters and drinks cocoa. They talk about books and issues and kiss in the rain.

It's kind of like when you look at yourself in the mirror and you say your name. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real.

I really do love my sister. Especially when she's nice.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
To tell you the truth I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
I think on my next birthday, I'm going to buy her a present. I think that should be the tradition. The kid gets gifts from everybody, and he buys one present for his mom since she was there, too. I think that would be nice.

They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.

I found, through the process of doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations.

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.

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.

Do you enjoy holidays with your family? I don't mean your mom and dad family, but your uncle and aunt and cousin family? Personally, I do. There are several reasons for this. First, I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other. Second, the fights are always the same.
