Its all about loving John Green’s quotes
Just like today, few weeks back I came home after my
night shift. After coming back from night shift my next day is usually gloomy,
so I prefer watching a good movie to lighten up my mood. The case was same that
Saturday as well. Wanted to watch something happy and positive and randomly
played ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ movie. The book was lying at my place from
quite few days. Even the book was randomly picked up. Oh! Ya back to the movie…
the movie starts and I go “Woaaaah….
This is more than amazing.” Couldn’t wait to read the book. I
immediately started with the novel too and I loved it way more. I declare that
from now on am a John Green fan and I should read more of his books…
Till now I have read three books and I have gone crazyyy.
While reading his work there at times when I get so involved that I need breaks
to absorb everything and at times I get so engrossed that I want to be
completely drenched in that world of words.
You pick up a book, finish it but you are still into it.
Every time I have read a John Green book I share the same sentiment. Along with
his characters and their interesting scenario, Green’s quotes have never ever
failed to inspire me. My social network uploads, my room, my laptop screen
everything is filled up with John Green’s quote- at present.
And now I am putting those quotes from the three books I
have read. Hope just like me even you enjoy it –
Lets start with ‘The Fault In Our Stars’
1. Maybe she wasn't loved widely but she was loved deeply (And
that is what matters, isn’t it?)
2. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.
3.
Grief does not change you,
Hazel. It reveals you.”
4. What else? She is so
beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is
smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love
her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get
hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like
my choices. I hope she likes hers.
5. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
6. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m
grateful.
7. You say you’re not special because the world doesn’t know
about you, but that’s an insult to me. I know about you.
8. That’s the thing about pain…It demands to be felt.
9. The marks humans leave are too often scars.
10.
And in the end. We can blame the stars or tell
ourselves that it wasn't meant to be, that it wasn't destined to happen but
deep down we know that the stars were not at fault and it wasn't "meant to
be". The fault was in ourselves.
My second
read was ‘An Abundance of Katherine’
1.
Books are the ultimate
Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them
and they always love you back.
2.
You don't remember what
happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
3.
That smile could end wars
and cure cancer.
4. I don't think your missing pieces ever fit inside you again
once they go missing. That's what I realized: if I did get her
back somehow, she wouldn't fill the hole that losing her created.
And now, ‘Looking for Alaska’
1.
If people were like rain, I
was like drizzle and she was a hurricane.
Three books and could jot down 15 quotes. Hoping to read
more of his wonderful work specially those heart-touching and relatable quotes
;-)
