Hate isn’t the most dangerous thing, he’d said. Indifference is.

Take it from me: If you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging up your back and runing its fingers up your spine, the best thing to do-the only thing-is run.

Lauren Oliver, Delirium (via booksqouted)

I’ve learned to get really good at this - say one thing when I’m thinking about something else, act like I’m listening when I’m not, pretend to be calm and happy when I’m really freaking out. It’s one of the skills you perfect as you get older.

It’s so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to come. Then it happens and it’s over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.

How can someone have the power to shatter you to dust–and also to make you feel so whole?

Lauren Oliver, Requiem (via booksqouted)

I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.

Now I’d rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

His eyes are exactly the color of early-morning sky. When he smiles, I think he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Someday, even this pain will be taken away.

You asked for it...

…and now it’s coming, straight from the pages of Delirium! I’m thrilled to announce The Book of Shhh, a free - that’s right - free mini e-book. Containing previously unreleased passages from the prominent religious, social, and scientific compendium of the Delirium world, the book is a must have for any fan of the trilogy. Coming May 2016!

Most things, even the greatest movements on earth, have their beginnings in something small. An earthquake that shatters a city might begin with a tremor, a tremble, a breath.

I know that life isn’t life if you just float through it. I know that the whole point-the only point-is to find things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.

The most dangerous sicknesses are those that make us believe we are well.

’One of the strangest things about life is that it will chug on, blind and oblivious, even as your private world - your little carved-out sphere - is twisting and morphing, even breaking apart. One day you have parents; the next day you’re an orphan. One day you have a place and a path. The next day you’re lost in the wilderness. And still the sun rises and clouds mass and drift and people shop for groceries and toilets flush and blinds go up and down. That’s when you realize that most of it - life, the relentless mechanism of existing - isn’t about you. It doesn’t include you at all. It will thrust onward even after you’ve jumped the edge. Even after you’re dead’-

Words cannot express how much I loved #Delirium. I stayed up until 6am, sobbing, and finished that book when I had to be up the next morning at 8am. Totally worth it.
