Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And i will always believe the same about you."

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

"On Friday night, I was reading my new book, but my brain got tired, so I decided to watch some television instead."

"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."

"What about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?"

"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."

"I feel infinite."

"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."

"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"

"It's nice to have things to look forward to."

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

"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."

"We didn't talk about anything heavy or light. We were just there together. And that was enough"

"please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And i will always believe the same about you."

"And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter."

"Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody."

"As you see the opening get closer, you just can't get fast enough. And finally, just when you think you'll never get there, you see the opening right in front of you."

"This moment will just be another story someday."

"What about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?"

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