More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
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.
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
And how different her face looked the first time she really liked a boy who was not on a poster on her wall. And how her face looked when she realized she was in love with that boy.
Stephen Chbosky
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
Stephen Chbosky
I guess I'm pretty emotional.
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.

And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.
Stephen Chbosky
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.
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
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
Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I’ve been watching cable television and eating jello.
Stephen Chbosky
I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.

Welcome to the island of misfit toys.

The sound of the radio fades to nothing because the waves just can't reach
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
All I could do is lie there and think about how much her voice changed when she asked me if she was pretty, and how much she changed when I answered.
Stephen Chbosky
deep down...she's a good woman...you should be proud of her. When I told my mom about this, she just looked very sad because he could never say those things to her. Not ever. Not even when he walked her down the aisle.
Stephen Chbosky
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.
Stephen Chbosky
I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees her is better than she actually is. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera.
Stephen Chbosky
Charlie, you’re one of the most gifted people I’ve ever known. And I don’t mean in terms of my other students. I mean in terms of anyone I’ve ever met.
Stephen Chbosky
