“You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes".” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it.But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall
“So many things become beautiful when you really look.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall
“I'd rather die my way than live yours.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“I guess that's what saying good-bye is always like--like jumping off an edge. The worst part is making the choice to do it. Once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do but let go.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall
“It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“Love: It will kill you and save you, both” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“I run for I don't know how long. Hours, maybe, or days. Alex told me to run. So I run. You have to understand. I am no one special. I am just a single girl. I am five feet two inches tall and I am in-between in every way. But I have a secret. You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope,and without fear. I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“Hate isn’t the most dangerous thing, he’d said. Indifference is.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“He who leaps for the sky may fall, it's true. But he may also fly.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“Mama, Mama, help me get homeI'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.I found me a werewolf, a nasty old muttIt showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut.Mama, Mama, help me get homeI'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.I was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreckIt showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck.Mama, Mama, put me to bedI won't make it home, I'm already half-dead.I met an Invalid, and fell for his artHe showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart.-From "A Child's Walk Home," Nursery Rhymes and Folk Tales” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“A good friend keeps your secrets for you. A best friend helps you keep your own secrets.” ― Lauren Oliver , Before I Fall
“It's funny, isn't it? When you are young you just want to be old, and then later you wish you could go back to being a kid.” ― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall
“Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever.” ― Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium
“I know that the whole point—the only point—is tofind the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse tolet them go.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it andwhen you don’t.” ― Lauren Oliver, Delirium
