I couldn't believe Sam actually got me a present because i honestly thought the I love you was it.
Stephen Chbosky
And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter.
Stephen Chbosky
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.

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 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.

I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what's wrong with me. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense. To make this all go away.

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
I want to be an author/director and I'm writing my second book now and I want to make a movie of it, and I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life.
Stephen Chbosky
It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report on top of that.
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
And she looked at me like she couldn't believe I knew she loved Anne Rice. I guess he didn't know how much she talked or how much I listened.
Stephen Chbosky
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
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
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.

in the last month or so, i have read the great gatsby and a separate peace. i am starting to see a real trend in the kind of books bill gives me to read. and just like the tape of songs, it is amazing to hold each of them in the palm of my hand. they are all my favorites. all of them.
Stephen Chbosky
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
I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live.
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 things get worse before they get better because that’s what my psychiatrist says, but this is a worse that feels too big.
