That's how things were out here in the wild, she was learning. Dangerous or beautiful. Or both.
Uglies, Scott Westerfeld
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.

If a guy like you can stand up and do what you did, then maybe everyone can. Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of.

I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it.

It's not a big thing, but I guess it's true--big things are often just small things that are noticed.

Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.

But I was not in the band, because I suffer from the kind of tone deafness that is generally associated with actual deafness.
Paper Towns, John Green
At some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you'll look back down and see that you floated away, too.

Isn't it also that 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.

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

As long as we don't die, this is gonna be one hell of a story

The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.

Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old.

I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back

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

Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of quotes the past little while. Life has been super hectic. First there were finals, then I went on a European adventure for two weeks then came back home for more school and work. All of which has left me super busy and pretty exhausted. On the bright side I got to read a number amazing books over my vacation including Paper Towns by John Green, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Anansi Boys by Neil Gaimen and a few others. And sense I finally got to read new books I have a number of new quotes that I really like to share with you.
Also I am finished school for the summer next week therefore I will be able to start reading more with out feeling bad about not studying and being a bad student. Therefore If anyone feels like recommending me anything to add to my summer reading list please leave me a message. I love hearing about new books.
I hope everyone's summer has been off to a great start!
