Stephen Chbosky cytaty

strona 3

„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.”

“To tell you the truth, I've just been avoiding everything.”

“Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I've been watching cable television and eating jello.”

“Then, I turned around and walked to my room and closed my door and put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.”

“On Friday night, I was reading my new book, but my brain got tired, so I decided to watch some television instead.”

“I can't think again. Not ever again. I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that.”

“Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.”

“But right now I’m here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do.”

“It’s strange how things can change back as suddenly as they changed originally. When one thing happens and suddenly, things are back to normal.”

“I feel like a big faker because I've been putting my life back together, and nobody knows.”

“It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody.”

“If it meant that I would never get to think of you that way, as long as you were happy, it was okay.”

“I don't know if it's better to be close with your daughter or make sure that she has a better life than you do.”

“Nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.”

“Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.”

“So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.”

“It's nice to have things to look forward to.”

“I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what's wrong with me. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense. To make this all go away.”

“Patrick started running after the sunset. And Sam immediately followed him. And I saw them in silhouette. Running after the sun.”

“I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live.”

“It was the kind of kiss I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know I was never so happy in my whole life.”

“And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.”

“I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is.”

“I'm just thinking too fast-- much too fast.”

“I put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.”

“I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees her is better than she actually is. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera.”

“I was very grateful to have heard it again. Because I guess we all forget sometimes. And I think everyone is special in their own way. I really do.”

“He's a wallflower.”

“Sam screamed the fun scream, and there it was. Downtown lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. Sam sat down and started laughing. Patrick started laughing. I started laughing. and in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”

“I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay?”
