The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) dir. Stephen Chbosky

“The road home is small; it is quiet. It is a warm you have to get used to. It is a ship made from everyone that ever told you they loved you and stayed when your heart slammed shut so loud you could not say it back.”

“I promise I will love you as if it’s the only thing I’ve ever done correctly.”

“Hoping, that when I tell the man I fall in love with that poetry may be the only life I can bring into this world, that he will not let go of my hand.”

My body, My choice.

“I cannot remember his laugh though I thought I would by now. His face fades and folds into each year. I do not know any of his scars and these things matter to me.”
