Wonder
Quotes from the Book
The world, I sometimes think, is filled with someone liking someone who likes someone else who likes someone else.
It is amazing how much you can see in other people - the good and the bad, we won't even talk about the ugly - if you just shut up and watch them.
There are two good reasons for being nice to the underdogs in this life. One, because if the underdog grows up to be the kind of person that starts shooting, you'll have a chance at survival. Two, because it's the right thing to do the third reason being that the wheel of fortune is always spinning, spinning. And just because you're at the top today doesn't mean it'll always be so. When you're at the bottom, you'll want someone to be there for you too.
Everywhere around me, already I see cliques, the kinds of cliques you see in schools everywhere: jocks, troublemakers, mathletes, you name it. Me, I am in a clique unto myself, the sole member of the group called "crazy.
...that you should be nice to everyone until a person gives you reason not to be, and sometimes even then.
It's amazing how people can take just one small part of a person and draw massive conclusions.
Violence: these days, it is all the rage
Some days I am all about the ironic gesture
Whatever happens, I will stand beside her. ~Lucius
How long, I wonder, does it take a thing or a place or even a person to feel like home?
...the third reason [for being nice to the underdogs in life] being that the wheel of fortune is always spinning, spinning. And just because you're at the top today doesn't mean it'll always be so. When you're at the bottom, you'll want someone to be there for you too.
A first kiss, I think, should be important, special. It should be with the person you want to kiss more than anybody in the world.
