Lauren Oliver quotes about
Anger is useful only to a certain point. After that, it becomes rage, and rage will make you careless.
Everything in me feels fluttering and free, like I could take off from the ground at any second. Music, I think, he makes me feel like music.
Amor deliria nervosa. The deadliest of all deadly things.
You can't tell me what to feel
I was glad when the invalids were executed
Black is too morbid; red will set them on edge; pink is too juvenile; orange is freakish
I start to back away before I do something wildly inappropriate, like jump on top of him.
The only thing worse than having no friends is being pitied for having no friends.
I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took
And I guess that's when it starts to hit me: the whole point is, you do what you can.
But now I give in, let the anger surge. I'm sick of people acting like this world, this other world is the normal one, while I'm the freak. It's not fair; like all the rules have suddenly changed and somebody forgot to tell me.
Most things, even the greatest movements on earth, have their beginnings in something small. An earthquake that shatters a city might begin with a tremble, a breath. Music begins with a vibration . . . And God created the whole universe from an atom no bigger than a thought.
I think 'Voldemort' is definitely the scariest villain.
