“The sun stopped shining for me is all. The whole story is: I am sad. I am sad all the time and the sadness is so heavy that I can't get away from it. Not ever.”

“I don't want to hurt you or anybody so please forget about me. Just try. Find yourself a better friend.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“My room is so quiet and empty it hurts.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“There used to be days that I thought I was okay, or at least that I was going to be. We'd be hanging out somewhere and everything would just fit right and I would think 'it will be okay if it can just be like this forever' but of course nothing can ever stay just how it is forever.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“There are so many things that I want so badly to tell you but I just can't.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“You might be looking for reasons but there are no reasons.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“And I want to tell you about everything but I can't because I couldn't stand for you to have that look on your face all the time. I just need you to look at me and think that I'm normal. I just really need that from you.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“I was okay just a moment ago. I will learn how to be okay again.” ― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay
“It was the moment I realized what music can do to people, how it can make you hurt and feel so good all at once.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“We were nostalgic for a time that wasn't yet over.” ― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay
“dear today, i spend all of you pretending i'm okay when i'm not, pretending i'm happy when i'm not, pretending about everything to everyone.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“I thought that it was more likely the opposite. I must have shut grief out. Found it in books. Cried over fiction instead of the truth. The truth was unconfined, unadorned. There was no poetic language to it, no yellow butterflies, no epic floods. There wasn't a town trapped underwater or generations of men with the same name destined to make the same mistakes. The truth was vast enough to drown in.” ― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay
“This is what I want so don't be sad.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“We love films because they makes us feel something. They speak to our desires, which are never small. They allow us to escape and to dream and to gaze into the eyes that are impossibly beautiful and huge. They fill us with longing. But also. They tell us to remember; they remind us of life. Remember, they say, how much it hurts to have your heart broken.” ― Nina LaCour, Everything Leads to You
“I wish you more happiness than can fit in a person.” ― Nina LaCour, We Are Okay
“...I think that people who make judgements about other people they don't even know are shallow, and people who start rumors are shallow, and I really don't care what shallow people say about me.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“I am a girl ready to explode into nothing.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“Here's how I feel: People take one another for granted. Like, I'd just hang out with Ingrid in all these random places--in her room or at school or just on a sidewalk somewhere. And the whole time we'd tell eachother things, just say our thoughts outloud. Maybe that would have been boring to some people, but it was never boring to us. I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head. You just think that things will stay the way they are. You never look up, in a moment that feels like every other moment of your life, and think, "Soon this will be over." But I understand more now. About how life works.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
“Each time a breeze starts, I feel the air all the way through me.” ― Nina LaCour, Hold Still
