Lauren Oliver Quotes

I need him to know that I came for him. I need him to know that somehow, at some point in the tunnels, I began to love him Picture Quote #1

We can never understand. We can only try, fumbling our way through the tunneled places, reaching for light Picture Quote #1

People themselves are full of tunnels: winding, dark spaces and caverns; impossible to know all the places inside of them. Impossible even to imagine Picture Quote #1

Willing me to understand: that people should be sacrificed to causes, that beauty can be built on the backs of the dead Picture Quote #1

I get that rush that comes when you know you’re doing something wrong and are getting away with it, like stealing from the school cafeteria of getting tipsy at a family holiday without anyone knowing it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been trying so hard not to think his name, not to even breathe the idea of him Picture Quote #1

Alex loved books. He was the one who first introduced me to poetry. That’s another reason I can’t read anymore Picture Quote #1

It’s like there’s a filter set up in my brain, except instead of making things better, it twists everything around so what comes out of my mouth is totally wrong, totally different from what I was thinking Picture Quote #1

The priests and the scientists are right about one thing: At our heart, at our base, we are no better than animals Picture Quote #1

In a world without love, this is what people are to each other: values, benefits, and liabilities, numbers and data. We weigh, we quantify, we measure, and the soul is ground to dust Picture Quote #1

Here’s something else you might as well learn now: If you want something, if you take it for your own, you’ll always be taking it from someone else. That’s a rule too. And something must die so that others can live Picture Quote #1

Droplets, droplets: we are all identical drips and drops of people, hovering, waiting to be tipped, waiting for someone to show us the way, to pour us down a path Picture Quote #1

Everything I see and touch reminds me of him, and so everything I see and touch is perfect Picture Quote #1

An itchy feeling began to work its way through my body, as though a thousand mosquitoes were circulating through my blood, biting me from the inside, making me want to scream, jump, squirm. I ran Picture Quote #1

Nothing has ever been so painful or delicious as being so close to him and being unable to do anything about it: like eating ice cream so fast on a hot day you get a splitting headache Picture Quote #1

The tunnels may be long, and twisted, and dark; but you are supposed to go through them Picture Quote #1

The reason you can never go home again isn’t necessarily that places change, but people do. So nothing ever looks the same Picture Quote #1

The hours here are flat and round, disks of gray layered one on top of the other... they move slowly, at a grind, until it seems as though they are not moving at all. They are just pressing down Picture Quote #1

If you want something, if you take it for your own, you’ll always be taking it from someone else Picture Quote #1

Chance. Stupid, dumb, blind chance. Just a part of the strange mechanism of the world, with its fits and coughs and starts and random collisions Picture Quote #1

... if you are one tardy away from missing out on a big competition, you should probably make your coffee at home Picture Quote #1

Live free or die. Four words. Thirteen letters. Ridges, bumps, swirls under my fingertips. Another story. We cling tightly to it, and our belief turns it to truth Picture Quote #1

Anger is useful only to a certain point. After that, it becomes rage, and rage will make you careless Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how close I have been, all this time, to my old life. And yet the distance that divides me from it is vast Picture Quote #1

What glitters may not be gold; and even wolves may smile; and fools will be led by promises to their deaths Picture Quote #1

Feelings aren’t forever. Time waits for no one, but progress waits for man to enact it Picture Quote #1

It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day, you can think you know them and then you found out you hardly know them at all Picture Quote #1

Maybe all of these different possibilities exist at the same time, like each moment we live has a thousand other moments layered underneath it that look different Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like she deserves a best friend who is just a little more special Picture Quote #1

I have had to give up so much, so many selves and lives already. I have grown up and out of the rubble of my old lives, of things and people I have cared for Picture Quote #1
