"Ok, Patrick did something a bit gutsy. Something that really suprized me and, probably the rest of the reading world.

Patrick made the main character a homosexual.

I mean what author has the guts to do that? In a world where homosexual marriage is illegal in most states, and could get you killed in other counties, making the main character a homosexual is a very big risk. I tip my hat off to you, Patrick." — Jan 26, 2015 06:25AM

"This is a book about life. How life throws its hard challenges, devastating risks and amazing payoff in 200 pages. Santiago is on a physical adventure trying to find a treasure he saw in a dream, and a mental adventure in trying to unlock the meaning of life. I recently went through the same trip, except that the physical adventure is school. And my Mental adventure took over my Physical one." — Jan 14, 2015 11:22AM

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”

“because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”

“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska
