Paper Towns by John Green

"It is so hard to leave-until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world."

It struck me as somewhat unfair that an asshole like Iason Worthington would get to have sex with both Margo and Becca. when perfectly likable individuals such as myself don't get to have sex with either of them--or anyone else, for that matter.

We play the broken strings of our instruments one last time

Rachel Braithwaite

“Peeing is like a good book in that it is very, very hard to stop once you start.”

“‘It’s so hard for anyone to show us how we look, and so hard for us to show anyone how we feel.’”

“‘…on some fundamental level we find it difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same way that we are? We idealize them as gods or dismiss them as animals.’”

“Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.”

“For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way.”

“…you listen to people so that you can imagine them, and you hear all the terrible and wonderful things people do to themselves and to one another, but in the end the listening exposes you even more than it exposes the people you’re trying to listen to.”

yep. did the same thing in all my la essays.

“I limped through my physics and government finals the next day and then stayed up till 2 A.M. on Tuesday finishing my final reaction paper for English about Moby Dick. Ahah was a hero, I decided. I had no particular reason for having decided this—particularly given that I hadn’t read the book—but decided it and reacted thusly.”
