“I know you tried. I’m telling you to try again” Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“You ever think, Charlie, that our group is the same as any other group, like the football team, and the only real difference between us is what we wear and why we wear it.” -Patrick, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“Charlie, don’t you get it? I can’t feel that.
It’s sweet and everything, but it’s like you’re not even there sometimes. It’s great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things.” -Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don’t like, I’ll tell them.” -Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“You know I blamed Craig for not letting me do things? […] Maybe he didn’t really encourage me to do things, but he didn’t prevent me from doing them either. But after awhile, I didn’t do things because I didn’t want him to think different about me. But the thing is, I wasn’t being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn’t really even know me?”-Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“It’s okay to feel things and be who you are about them” Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
