More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
Stephen Chbosky
Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I’ve been watching cable television and eating jello.
Stephen Chbosky
But in that moment when my brother took the field, all that washed away, and everyone was proud... I looked up at my dad, and he was smiling. I looked at my mom, and she was smiling even though she was nervous about my brother getting hurt, which was strange because it was a VCR tape of an old game, and she knew he didn't get hurt.
Stephen Chbosky
Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.
Stephen Chbosky
As you see the opening get closer, you just can't get fast enough. And finally, just when you think you'll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you.
Stephen Chbosky
Why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't even really know me?
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
The inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.
Stephen Chbosky
Five minutes of a lifetime were truly spent, and we felt young in a good way.
Stephen Chbosky
They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.
Stephen Chbosky
I was looking at the photographs and I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories.
Stephen Chbosky
It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
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 just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.
Stephen Chbosky
As people get older, we all know, you get married and you have a child and that becomes your family, but when you're 16 years old, especially, your family is your friends.
Stephen Chbosky
It’s strange how things can change back as suddenly as they changed originally. When one thing happens and suddenly, things are back to normal.
Stephen Chbosky
Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
Stephen Chbosky
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.
Stephen Chbosky
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.
Stephen Chbosky
