“A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me will full hands;

How could I answer the child?......I do not know what it is any more than he.

I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.

There was the hope Dr. Holden had talked about-the grass was a metaphor for his hope. But that"s not all. He continues,

Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,

A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,

Like grass is a metaphor for God's greatness or something....

And then soon after is itself a child....

And then soon after that,

Or, I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic,
And it means, Sprouting alike in broadzones and narrow zones.

Growing among black folk as among white.”

“What about the rest of your life?"
She shrugged. "What about it?"

"Forever is composed of nows," she says.”

“College: getting in or not getting in.
Trouble: getting in or not getting in.
School: getting A's or getting D's. Career: having or not having. House: big or small, owning or renting. Money: having or not having. It's all boring.”
― John Green, Paper Towns
