Perks quotes

Since I feel like I'm on a roll with this blogging business, I wanted to give a little teaser of some of my favorite The Perks of Being A Wallflower quotes, from Stephen Chbosky:

"I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist.
I think you of all people would understand that because I think you of all people are alive and appreciated what that means. At least I hope you do because other people look to you for strength and friendship and it's that simple."

"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."

"I have finished To Kill A Mockingbird. It is now my favorite book of all time, but then again, I always think that until I read another book."

"'Do you always think this much, Charlie?'
'Is that bad?' I just wanted someone to tell me the truth.
'Not necessarily. It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.'
'Is that bad?'
'Yes.'"

"'Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.'"

"I wasn't raised very religiously because my parents wen to Catholic school, but I do believe in God very much. I just never gave God a name, if you know what I mean. I hope I haven't let Him down regardless."

"There is a feeling that I had Friday night after the homecoming game that I don't know if I will ever be able to describe except to say that it is warm. Sam and Patrick drove me to the party that night, and I sat in the middle of Sam's pickup truck. Sam loves her pickup truck because I think it reminds her of her dad. The feeling I had happened when Sam told Patrick to find a station on the radio. And he kept getting commercials. And commercials. And a really bad song about love that had the word 'baby' in it. And then more commercials. And finally he found this really amazing song about this boy, and we all got quiet.
Sam tapped her hand on the steering wheel. Patrick held his hand outside the car and made air waves. And I just sat between them. After the song finished, I said something.
'I feel infinite.'
And Sam and Patrick looked at me like I said the greatest thing they ever heard. Because the song was that great and because we all really paid attention to it. Five minutes of a lifetime were truly spent, and we felt young in a good way. I have since bought the record, and I would tell you what it was, but truthfully, it's not the same unless you're driving to your first real party, and you're sitting in the middle seat of a pickup with two nice people when it starts to rain."

More to be added when I'm not so exhausted!
