Stephen Chbosky Book Quotations

I found, through the process of doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations.

It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.

Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.

Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.

What's your favorite book? "The last one I read.

It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report on top of that.

How about your favorite book?" "This Side of Paradise by From. Scott Fitzgerald." "Why?" "Because it was the last one I read." This made them laugh because they knew I meant it honest, not show-off. Then they told me their favorites, and we sat quiet.

It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.

Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs. I wonder how they feel tonight.

And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.

On Friday night, I was reading my new book, but my brain got tired, so I decided to watch some television instead.

I want to be an author/director and I'm writing my second book now and I want to make a movie of it, and I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life.

When you publish a book, you do so in part to end the silence. All censorship is silence. I would never, as an author, feel right requiring a young person whose family would object to the book to read it. Just as I would never force that person to read it, I would ask those folks to not force others not to read it. To me, that is just good manners.

No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks, when the teacher rings the bell, drop your books and run like hell

I have finished To Kill a Mockingbird. It is now my favorite book of all time, but then again, I always think that until I read another book.

in the last month or so, i have read the great gatsby and a separate peace. i am starting to see a real trend in the kind of books bill gives me to read. and just like the tape of songs, it is amazing to hold each of them in the palm of my hand. they are all my favorites. all of them.
