And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
I guess I'm pretty emotional.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
When we were all getting ready to leave, I walked up to my grandfather and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. He wiped my lip print off with his palm and gave me a look. He doesn't like the boys in the family to touch him. But I'm very glad that I did it anyway in case he dies. I never got to do that with my Aunt Helen.

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.

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.

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. And I could see this boy throwing up in the bushes at a party house. And I could see my sister putting up with it. And I felt very bad for both of them.

Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.

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 really do love my sister. Especially when she's nice.

Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense.
Stephen Chbosky

I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.

I would die for you. But I won't live for you.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.
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
Image
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
And I never felt that good in my life. But I also felt bad because I saw her naked without her permission.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
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.

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.

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.

I guess when you see somebody in the hallway or on the field or something, it's nice to know that they are a real person.
