Marilyn Monroe

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
