181 " Everyone is special in their own way. "
― Stephen Chbosky , The Perks of Being a Wallflower
182 " It's strange the times people choose to be generous. "
183 " So, tomorrow, I’m leaving. And I’m not going to let that happen again with anyone else. 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. "
184 " And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn’t do or what they didn’t know. I don’t know. I guess there would always be someone to blame. "
185 " As I was walking up the stairs to dad's old room, and I was looking at the photographs, I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories. That someone actually took the photograph, and the people in the photograph had just eaten lunch or something. "
186 " Lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder. "
187 " I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad. ..Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it’s okay to feel things. And be who you are about them. "
188 " The movie itself was very interesting, but I didn't think it was very good because I didn't really feel different when it was over. "
189 " I guess I'm pretty emotional. "
190 " I didn't know that other people thought things about me. I didn't know that they looked. "
191 " Charlie, you’re one of the most gifted people I’ve ever known. And I don’t mean in terms of my other students. I mean in terms of anyone I’ve ever met. "
192 " Welcome to the island of misfit toys "
193 " Creo que si alguna vez tengo hijos y están disgustados, no les diré que la gente se muere de hambre en China ni nada parecido porque no cambiaría el hecho de que estén disgustados. E incluso si otra persona lo tiene mucho peor, eso realmente no cambia el hecho de que tú tienes lo que tienes. Bueno y malo. Como lo que mi hermana dijo cuando yo llevaba ya una temporada en el hospital. Dijo que estaba muy preocupada por ir a la universidad, y en comparación con lo que yo estaba pasando, se sentía muy tonta. Pero no sé por qué se iba a sentir tonta. Yo también estaría preocupado. Y en serio, no creo que yo lo tenga mejor ni peor que ella. No sé. Es diferente. Quizá sea bueno poner las cosas en perspectiva, pero, a veces, creo que la única perspectiva es estar allí de verdad. Como dijo Sam. Porque está bien sentir cosas. Y ser tú mismo al respecto. "
194 " When I was driving home, I just thought about the word 'special'. And I thought the last person who said that about me was my Aunt Helen. 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. "
195 " I look at the field, and I think about the boy who just made the touchdown. I think that these are the glory days for that boy, and this moment will just be another story someday because all the people who make touchdowns and home runs will become somebody's dad. And when his children look at his yearbook photograph, they will think that their dad was rugged and handsome and looked a lot happier than they are. 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. "
196 " I am really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much. "
197 " no more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks, when the teacher rings the bell, drop your books and run like hell "
198 " We can't choose where we come from,but we can choose where we go from there. "
199 " To tell you the truth I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world. "
200 " Craig said the problem with things is that everyone is always comparing everyone with everyone "
