Happy Birthday, Stephen Chbosky, born 25 January 1970.

Seven Sensational Quotes

  1. I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don’t know what I would write.
  2. So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.
  3. Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.
  4. And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
  5. There’s nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
  6. We accept the love we think we deserve.
  7. It’s strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.
