whenever i read books, i always doggy-ear pages (guilty) where there's a line or quote or just some writing that i find beautiful, can relate to, or want to go back to. i basically just type up the quotes & keep them but i don't necessarily do anything w them, so i thought i could share them w y'all
i just finished re-reading an abundance of katherines by john green & here are some quotes from the book that i really enjoyed/related to/made me stop & think:
"what’s the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable? how very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV"
"he’d meet a Katherine, and like her. She’d like him back. and then it would end"
"they want to stay friends; they feel smothered; it’s always them and it’s never you; and afterward, you’re devastated and they’re relieved; it’s over for them and just starting for you"
"she was a nice girl with a good heart who liked helping people, and none of them ever lit my heart... on fire like she did, but i just needed her so much and it never felt like enough and she wasn’t consistent and her inconsistency and my insecurity were this horrible match for each other, but i still loved her, because all of me was wrapped up in her, because i’d put all my eggs into someone else’s basket"
"how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. you matter as much as the things that matter to you do"
