Quotes from the book Lauren Oliver "Delirium"

"If the meaning of your life is simply to swimdown stream, then this is not life. I know that the whole point - and the only one - is to find what is most important for you, and do not let it go of your own self, and fight for it, and no one is allowed to take it away from you "

"Love is one single word, it's like a haze,it is short and precise, like a point. Yes, that's it - the point, the blade. It goes through your life and cuts it in two. On the "before" and "after". And the whole world also falls into two halves. Before and after…"

"One of the biggest mysteries of life isThe fact that she rushes to herself further, despite the fact that your personal world, your own little personal universe is twisted, twisted or even scattered with small pieces. Today you have parents - tomorrow you are an orphan. Today you have your place in being, your way - tomorrow you are wandering in the wilds "

"Sometimes it seems to me that if you sit quietly and justto observe what is happening around, then, I'm ready to swear, time stops for a moment and the whole universe also freezes. Just for a second. And if you find a way to live within this second, you will live forever "
