I've never understood the need people have to dictate morality to other people. I really don't know what it is. I don't know if it's fear or the belief that they know the only right way. Or maybe they see a lot of social ills and social decline, and they really think they have the elixir for it.

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
Some kids look at me strange in the hallways because I don't decorate my locker.
Stephen Chbosky
It’s much easier not to know things sometimes. And to have french fries with your mom be enough.
Stephen Chbosky
It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.
Stephen Chbosky
I wish I could stop being in love with Sam. I really do.
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
And I never felt that good in my life. But I also felt bad because I saw her naked without her permission.
Stephen Chbosky
But right now I’m here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do.
Stephen Chbosky
And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.
Stephen Chbosky
Sam has brown hair and very, very pretty green eyes. The kind of green that doesn't make a big deal about itself.
Stephen Chbosky
The fights are always the same
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
