Stephen Chbosky cytaty

strona 2

„Wszystko zaczyna umykać bardzo szybko.”

„(…) jesteśmy tacy, jacy jesteśmy z wielu powodów. Być może nigdy nie odkryjemy większości z nich. Ale nawet jeśli nie mamy wpływu na to, skąd pochodzimy, do nas należy wybór, w którą pójdziemy stronę.”

„Nie uważam, że powinno się przywiązywać zbyt dużą uwagę do swojej tuszy, stanu mięśni i fryzury, ale kiedy czasami wygląda się dobrze, to jest naprawdę miłe.”

„Musisz postępować według pewnych zasad, nie dlatego, że chcesz, tylko dlatego, że musisz.”

„Wiesz… Kupa dzieciaków nienawidzi swoich rodziców. Niektóre były bite. Niektóre mają naprawdę ciężkie życie. Niektóre z nich są trofeami rodziców, którzy chwalą się nimi przed sąsiadami, jakby były jakimiś nagrodami.”

„Bo nawet jeśli komuś jest o wiele gorzej niż tobie, ty nadal masz to coś, co masz – dobrego albo złego. (…) Może dobrze jest ustawiać sobie sprawy w perspektywie, ale czasami jedyną perspektywę daję znalezienie się w takiej samej sytuacji.”

„Nie wiedziałem, że ktokolwiek ma jakieś zdanie na mój temat. Nie wiedziałem, że w ogóle mnie zauważają.”

„I przysięgam, w tamtej chwili byliśmy nieskończonością.”

„Tych pięć minut było naprawdę istotne, czuliśmy się szczęśliwi, że jesteśmy młodzi.”

„Wiesz, jeśli chodzi o mnie, to czasem jestem szczęśliwy, a czasem smutny, i ciągle się zastanawiam, jak to możliwe.”

„Nie możesz zawsze uważać cudzego życia za ważniejsze od swojego i sądzić, że na tym polega miłość.”

„(…) wszystko się zmienia. Przyjaciele odchodzą, a życie nie zatrzymuje się w miejscu dla nikogo.”

“If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it, too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me.”

“I don't even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere.”

“I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.”

“Sam and Patrick looked at me. And I looked at them. And I think they knew. Not anything specific really. They just knew. And I think that's all you can ever ask from a friend.”

“I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everyone was, especially me.”

“What about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?”

“If you care about somebody, you should want them to be happy. Even if you wind up being left out.”

“The inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.”

“I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.”

“I just don't want you to worry about me, or think you've met me, or waste your time anymore.”

“I don't know how much longer I can keep going without a friend. I used to be able to do it very easily, but that was before I knew what having a friend was like.”

“Not everyone has a sob story, Charlie, and even if they do, it's no excuse.”

“It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.”

“What's your favorite book?
"The last one I read.”

“He’s my whole world.”
“Don’t ever say that about anyone again. Not even me.”

“I’m so sorry that I wasted your time because you really do mean a lot to me and I hope you have a very nice life because I really think you deserve it. I really do. I hope you do, too. Okay, then. Goodbye.”

“Patrick actually used to be popular before Sam bought him some good music.”

“I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am.”

“I was looking at the photographs and I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories.”

“And I closed my eyes because I wanted to know nothing but her arms.”

“people who try to control situations all the time are afraid that if they don't, nothing will work out the way they want.”

“Have you ever done that? You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don’t know why.”

“Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs.
I wonder how they feel tonight.”

“I have finished To Kill a Mockingbird. It is now my favorite book of all time, but then again, I always think that until I read another book.”

“As much as I feel sad, I think that not knowing is what really bothers me.”

“But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things.”

“I really think that everyone should have watercolors, magnetic poetry, and a harmonica.”

“Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we're nothing"; - "We accept the love we think we deserve”

“I was in my bed trying to figure out why sometimes you can wake up and go back to sleep and other times you can't”
