You said you knew the perfect place to run to. A place that was empty of people, and buildings, and far, far away. A place covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life. A place longing to come alive again. It's a place for disappearing, you'd said, a place for getting lost... and for getting found. I'll take you there, you'd said. And I could say that I agreed.

About This Quote

This quote is from the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. It talks about meeting Charlie. They go to a place where there are no people or buildings or crowded streets. The place looks like it is covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life.

The place is longing to come alive again, but you have to be careful because it can be deadly. Charlie says that this place is for disappearing because when you disappear, you do not need to worry about anyone finding you or asking for help. You can be free to do whatever you want, but this quote also teaches us not to be too trusting of others because they could betray you in the end.
