Lauren Oliver Quotes

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

Just before she died she asked, What is the answer? No answer came. She laughed and said, In that case, what is the question? Then she died.

There are no explanations, there are no answers.

Life and death. They are somehow sweetly and beautifully mixed, but I don't know how.

Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.

Life and death. At some point we're gonna leave this world. Do I know when? Absolutely not.
