Additional quotes by Stephen Chbosky

I would die for you. But I won't live for you.

I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.

It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.
