I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson. As usual, I found a quote I like.

It's stupid to blame the other Will Grayson for something that was happening before the other Will Grayson existed. And yet. - page 193.

It isn't as, I dunno, shiny as the Looking for Alaska quote I like. But I like feeling as though fictional characters know how I feel.

Starfishes? Me wants too! It is never bad to compare yourself with a book character, at least not in my book. What quote from Alaska do you like then?

I posted about it awhile ago for the 30 day meme, but here it is!

"And what is an "instant" death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten? The pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. What the hell is an instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous. " -John Green, Looking for Alaska.
