i'm distraught. why have i never read a john green before this one. fml.
idk how else to convince you to read this book other than listing a few of my favourite quotes (out of order and with no spoilers obvi)
"i lack all conviction."
"the parasite believes itself to be the host."
"thoughts are just a different kind of bacteria"
"i wasn't possessed by a demon. i was the demon."
"it's like a brain fire. like a rodent gnawing at you from the inside. a knife in your gut. whirlpool. black hole."
""actually, the problem is that i /can't/ lost my mind," i said. "it's inescapable.""
"look up long enough and you start to feel your infinitesimality."
"the worst part of being truly alone is you think about all the times you wished that everyone would just leave you be. then they do, and you are left being, and you turn out to be terrible company."
"the past is a snare that has already caught you."
"illness is a story told in the past tense."
""nobody gets anyone really. we're all stuck inside ourselves.""
""i'm sorry." "you say that a lot." "i feel it a lot.""
john green you are so quotable and i love you for it. anyway i'm gonna go cry for ever i am inconsolable .❤❤❤❤
