The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.

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.

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.

And I could see this boy doing his homework and thinking about my sister naked. And I could see them holding hands at football games that they do not watch.

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

It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.

I would die for you. But I won't live for you.
Stephen Chbosky

That was always my hope that that is exactly what I would do. It was always part of the dream of this story - to write the novel and then direct the movie.

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

Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?
Stephen Chbosky

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.

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.

Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.

Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.
