More quotes by 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
When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was 'The Graduate' or 'Rebel Without a Cause' or 'Dead Poet's Society,' they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That's what made them resonate with me.
Stephen Chbosky
Maybe it’s sad that these are now memories. And maybe it’s not sad.
Stephen Chbosky
I wonder what it will be like when I leave this place.
Stephen Chbosky
Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense.
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
I think on my next birthday, I'm going to buy her a present. I think that should be the tradition. The kid gets gifts from everybody, and he buys one present for his mom since she was there, too. I think that would be nice.
Stephen Chbosky
It was the kind of kiss that made me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.
Stephen Chbosky
I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live.
Stephen Chbosky
Do you think if people knew how crazy you really were, no one would ever talk to you?
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
Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
Stephen Chbosky
The girl that introduced The Smiths' song 'Asleep' to me was an important musical influence that I met in college. From there it's been an ongoing journey of different bands at different times, introducing bands and songs to me.
Stephen Chbosky
The thing is some girls think they can actually change guys
Stephen Chbosky
Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.
Stephen Chbosky
He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Stephen Chbosky
It's too bad you're not gay. Then again, if you were gay, I would never date you. You're a mess. You know, Patrick? If I were gay, I'd want to date you. Of course.
Stephen Chbosky
I was looking at the photographs and I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories.
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
Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
