Mere words cannot capture our excitement for the September 21st release of The Perks of Being A Wallflower, a coming-of-age story about an introvert freshman who’s befriended by two free-spirited seniors. Not only is one of our favorite Vampire Diaries cast members, Nina Dobrev, appearing in the film but Harry Potter darling, Emma Watson, and Percy Jackson cutie, Logan Lerman, are also starring in this highly anticipated film. Moreover, we loved the book and the screenplay was penned by none other than the talented author himself, Stephen Chbosky. Seriously, can it get any better than an incredible cast, heart-rendering soundtrack, and a poignant rites-of-passage experience? Why yes it can — because we’ve got new sneak peek images (along with our favorite quotes from the novel) for you to enjoy while you wait for the movie to make its way to a theater near you!

'I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That�s why I�m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.'

'If somebody like 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.'
