Stephen Chbosky
“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.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

David Levithan
“I'm just wondering why people stay together," I say. "Why they connect in the first place, and what keeps that connection is strong. I want it to be all things inside---who you are,
what you believe. But what if the things on the outside are just as important? When I was little, I was always worried I'd fall in love with someone ugly. Like Shrek. Then I figured that love would make anyone beautiful to me, if I love them enough. I want to believe that. I want to believe that you can love someone so strongly that none of it will matter. But what if it does?”
David Levithan, Another Day

“It’s okay to kill a man if someone else deems him unfit to live.

What I really want to say is who the hell are you and who are you to decide who gets to die. Who are you to decide who should be killed. Who are you to tell me which father I should destroy and which child I should orphan and which mother should be left without her son, which brother should be left without a sister, which grandmother should spend the rest of her life crying in the early hours of the morning because the body of her grandchild was buried in the ground before her own.

What I really want to say is who the hell do you think you are to tell me that it’s awesome to be able to kill a living thing, that it’s interesting to be able to ensnare another soul, that it’s fair to choose a victim simply because I’m capable of killing without a gun. I want to say mean things and angry things and hurtful things and I want to throw expletives in the air and run far, far away; I want to disappear into the horizon and I want to dump myself on the side of the road if only it will bring me toward some semblance of freedom but I don’t know where to go. I have nowhere else to go.”
Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

“All I know is that I’m here. And I’m alive. And I’m not alone.”
Alice Oseman, Solitaire

Alice Oseman
“But books–they’re different. When you watch a film, you’re sort of an outsider looking in. With a book–you’re right there. You are inside. You are the main character.”
Alice Oseman, Solitaire
