161 " Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way. "
― Stephen Chbosky , The Perks of Being a Wallflower
162 " I love Twinkies, and the reason I am saying that is because we are all supposed to think of reasons to live. "
163 " 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. "
164 " I remembered this one time that I never told anybody about. The time we were walking. Just the three of us. I was in the middle. I don't remember where we were walking to or where we were walking from. I just remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere "
165 " Maybe these are my glory days, and I'm not ever realizing it because they involve a ball. "
166 " Patrick started running after the sunset. And Sam immediately followed him. And I saw them in silhouette. Running after the sun. "
167 " 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. "
168 " I'm just thinking too fast-- much too fast. "
169 " 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. "
170 " Every person has to live his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. "
171 " So, I looked up, and we were in this giant dome like a glass snowball, and Mark said that the amazing white stars were really only holes in the black glass of the dome, and when you went to heaven, the glass broke away, and there was nothing but a whole sheet of star white, which is brighter than anything but doesn't hurt your eyes. It was vast and open and thinly quiet, and I felt so small. "
172 " 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. "
173 " I put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be. "
174 " 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. "
175 " He's a wallflower. "
176 " I want to make sure that the first person you kiss loves you, okay? "
177 " Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. "
178 " I don’t want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can’t think again. Not ever again. "
179 " I don't know the significance of this, but I find it very interesting. "
180 " I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like all I can do is keep writing this gibberish to keep from breaking apart. "
