The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I laid in bed reading my favorite quotes from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. This book has always made me so hopeful in myself and in relationships. Also, I have always had a crush on Charlie.

“I just don't want you to worry about me, or think you've met me, or waste your time anymore.” 


“there is this one photograph... that is just beautiful. it would be impossible to describe how beautiful it is, but i’ll try. if you listen to the song “asleep,” and you think about those pretty weather days that make you remember things, and you think about the prettiest eyes you’ve known, and you cry and the person holds you back, then i think you will see the photograph. ” 


“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.” 


“You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.” 


“Everyone else is either asleep or having sex. I've been watching cable television and eating jello.”


“There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.” 


“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.” 


“What about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?”


And my personal favorite: “we accept the love we think we deserve.”
