Sometimes, you read a book & it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless & until all living humans read the book.
- You like someone who can't like like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot
- There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers for Augustus Waters and he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.
- Why is being a nerd bad? Saying, "I noticed you're a nerd" is like saying, "Hey, I noticed that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid. That you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid. That you believe there are more things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan." Why is that?
- That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.
- Something about me has always like the drama and inconvenience of bad weather. The worse the better really.
- As long as we don't die, this is going to be a hell of a story.
- Maybe the strings inside him broke.
- If people we rain, I would be a drizzle and she would be a hurricane.
- I fear oblivion
- Nerds like us, are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to lovve stuff, like, jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call you nerds, mostly what they're saying is "You like stuff" Which is not a good insult at all. Like, "You too are enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness."
- My thoughts are starts I can fathom into constellations.
- Truth defies simplicity
