Stephen Chbosky Quotes

Maybe this are my glory days, and I'm not even realizing it...

Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to
me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know
that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me
one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born
on a day that didn't snow.

I feel like a big faker because I've been putting my life back together, and nobody knows.

I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.

It was the kind of kiss that made
me know that I was never so happy in my whole life.

As you enter the tunnel, the wind gets sucked away, and you squint from the lights overhead. When you adjust the lights, you can see the other side in the distance just as the sound of the radio fades to nothing because the waves just can’t reach. Then, you’re in the middle of the tunnel, and everything becomes a calm dream. As you see the opening get closer, you just can’t get there fast enough. And finally, just when you think you’ll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you. And the radio comes back even louder than you remember it. And the wind is waiting. And you fly out of the tunnel onto the bridge. And there it is. The city. A million lights and buildings and everything seems as exciting as the first time you saw it.

Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I've been watching cable television and eating jello.

Please believe that things are going good with me. Even if they're not they will be soon enough.

It's kind of like when you look at yourself in the mirror and you say your name. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real. Well, sometimes I can do that, but I don't need an hour in front of a mirror. It just happens very fast, and things start to slip away. And I just open my eyes, and I see nothing. And then I start to breathe really hard trying to see something, but I can't. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it scares me.

Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.

So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.

Personally, I like to think my brother is having a college experience like they do in the movies. I don't mean the big fraternity party kind of movie. More like the movie where the guy meets a smart girl who wears a lot of sweaters and drinks cocoa. They talk about books and issues and kiss in the rain. I think something like that would be very good for him, especially if the girl were unconventionally beautiful. They are the best kind of girls, I think. I personally find 'super models' strange. I don't know why this is.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

Enjoy it. Because it's happening.
