Additional quotes by Stephen Chbosky

Downtown. Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs.
I wonder how they feel tonight.

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

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
