Stephen Chbosky

“You can't just sit there and put everyone else's life ahead of yours and think that counts as love”

“We accept the love we deserve.”

“When you think back to your first kiss, your hair is perfect and she was wearing a cool outfit. We remember it with restraint and we remember it with style. We remember it as idealistically as you can think.”

“Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.”
