More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
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
Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.
Stephen Chbosky
I was in my bed trying to figure out why sometimes you can wake up and go back to sleep and other times you can't
Stephen Chbosky
but my dad said it was no excuse. But I love him! I had never seen my sister cry that much. No, you don't. I hate you! No, you don't. My dad can be very calm sometimes. He's my whole world. Don't ever say that about anyone again. Not even me. That was my mom.
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
The fights are always the same
Stephen Chbosky
And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.
Stephen Chbosky
It's strange the times people choose to be generous.
Stephen Chbosky

Stephen Chbosky
I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for thousands of years. Or just not exist.
Stephen Chbosky
I wish I could stop being in love with Sam. I really do.
Stephen Chbosky
The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.
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
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
I wasn't raised very religiously because my parents went to Catholic school, but I do believe in God very much. I just never gave God a name, if you know what I mean. I hope I haven't let Him down regardless.
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.
Stephen Chbosky
Do you always think this much? It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
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
Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. And Bob nodded his head. And the whole room nodded their head. And i started to feel nervous in the Bob way, but Patrick didn't let me get too nervous. He sat down next to me. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Stephen Chbosky
