"That's a funny thing: you think, when awful things happen, everything else just stops, like you would forget to pee and eat and get thirsty, but it's not really true. It's like you and your body are two separate things, like your body is betraying you, chugging on, idiotic and animal, craving water and sandwiches and bathroom breaks while your world falls apart."

Survival

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever."

Time

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"It's the rule of the wilds. You must be bigger, and stronger, and tougher. A coldness radiates through me, a solid wall that is growing, piece by piece, in my chest. He doesn't love me.He never loved me.It was all a lie."The old Lena is dead." I say, and then push past him. Each step is more difficult than the last; the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone.You must hurt or be hurt."

Strength

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"Things change after you die, though, I guess because dying is the loneliest thing you can do."

Death

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"That was the problem with the outside world, the human world. The whole thing was made up puzzles, of a language she didn't quite speak."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"I guess that's just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up."

Sacrifice

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"I don't understand how everything changes, how the layers of your life get buried. Impossible. At some point, at some time, we must all explode."

Change

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"It struck her how sad it was that all of them had grown up on top of one another like small animals in a too-small cage, and now would simply scatter. And that would be the end of that. Everything that had happened would be sucked away into memory and vapour, as though it hadn't even happened at all."

Memory

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"I've never really had a party before. "Why did you have one now? I say, just to keep him talking. He gives a half laugh. "I thought if I had a party, you would come."

Connection

Quote_1.png
Lauren Oliver
"You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear.I love you. Remember. They cannot take it."
