Quote-Worthy Quotes: Looking for Alaska

      Hello there! I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted. Finals were crazy and now I am taking summer school but I will do my best to posts as much as I can.  I have decided to remove my Amazon wishlist from this blog because of the controversy that is being expressed on booktube.  Finally, I would appreciate it if you would check out my friend Serena's book blog http://perpetualreader-blogger.tumblr.com because she is wonderful so go give her some love! This is a collection of some of my favorite quotes from Looking for Alaska by John Green.

“Thomas Edison's last words were 'It's very beautiful over there'. I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.”

“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn't bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn't bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn't even imagine themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to.”

“I know so many last words. But I will never know hers.”
