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
Amor deliria nervosa isn't a disease of love. It's a disease of selfishness.
It's too late. I've seen things...I've lost things you can't understand.
Live free or die.
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.
Old words; words that nearly brought me to my knees. Live free or die
This is the world we live in, a world of safety and happiness and order, a world without love. A world where children crack their heads on stone fireplaces and nearly gnaw off their tongues and the parents are concerned. Not heartbroken, frantic, desperate. Concerned, as they are when you fail mathematics, as they are when they are late to pay their taxes.
I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took
