I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay?
Stephen Chbosky
Image
I would die for you. But I won't live for you.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
And things were back to normal except we were just friends.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
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.

Movies, by nature, are not subjective, they're objective.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
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
Image
And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.

It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
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.

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.

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.

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

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.
Stephen Chbosky

Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
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.

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.
Stephen Chbosky
Image
Sam has brown hair and very, very pretty green eyes. The kind of green that doesn't make a big deal about itself.

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

Music is a vital part of my life, and it has been since I was a kid. It helped me find my identity as a person, it helped me find my identity as an artist, and it helped me get in touch with emotions that I didn't know I had.
