More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball.
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
I feel like a big faker because I've been putting my life back together, and nobody knows.
Stephen Chbosky
Welcome to the island of misfit toys.
Stephen Chbosky
Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born on a day that didn't snow.
Stephen Chbosky
It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam.
Stephen Chbosky
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.
Stephen Chbosky
The fights are always the same
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
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.
Stephen Chbosky
I love my mom. And this time, I told her I loved her. And she told me she loved me, too. And things were okay for a little while.
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.
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.
Stephen Chbosky
Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
Stephen Chbosky
Craig said the problem with things is that everyone is always comparing everyone with everyone
Stephen Chbosky
It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.
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.
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.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.
Stephen Chbosky
