Lauren DeStefano Quotes

And everywhere girls, tumbling from trees like orange blossoms and hitting the earth with sickening thuds. They crack open Picture Quote #1

I wish I had a memory of that first violent shove, the shock of cold air, the sting of oxygen into new lungs. Everyone should remember being born. It doesn’t seem fair that we only remember dying Picture Quote #1

No matter how lonely it makes me, and no matter how wide and horrific the loneliness, at least I remember who I am Picture Quote #1

Life is much different from the days when there were lilies in my mother’s garden, and all my secrets fit into a paper cup Picture Quote #1

I think, in this strange world of beautiful things, there may be some humanity after all Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if it was love or an illusion. I don’t know if there’s ever a way to be certain Picture Quote #1

Vaughn is talking about the heat, and his voice is so excited that it breaks into whispers at times. He loves his madness the way a bird loves the sky Picture Quote #1

When we’re alive, life consumes us. But when we die, all of the color and the motion is gone so quickly, it’s as though it can no longer stand to be wasted on us Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I wanted so badly to tell him, but something about that entire night seemed so beautiful, so bizarre, that I didn’t trust it with my secrets Picture Quote #1

He sits next to me, careful to avoid my hair that’s splayed out around my head like blood. A bullet to the forehead, boom, blond waves everywhere Picture Quote #1

I watch the ashes swim around like dandelion puffs, making swirls where bodies and walls once stood Picture Quote #1

I see an ocean that’s spilled out of a wineglass, its body clear and sparkling and folding over itself. I see a ribbon of sand Picture Quote #1

There is a silence so great that I can hear the ice crystals cracking and falling from eyelashes of girls who will never blink again Picture Quote #1

It isn’t a perfect place. There are no perfect places. But nobody cares about perfection when there are sand castles to build and kites to chase, children that are being born, old hearts that are giving in Picture Quote #1
