I just finished reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It was good! not as "life changing" as everyone talked it up to be, but I enjoyed reading it, I really connected with the main character on a level that isn't usually there when i read most books, and there were tons of fabulous quotes that I absolutely loved.
Here's a few:
Quote:
"and all the books you’ve read have been ready by other people. and all the songs you’ve loved have been heard by other people. and that girl that’s pretty to you is pretty to other people. and you know that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing “unity.” "

Quote:
"I walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't."
