"Introductions are annoying. They don't help me understand the story. I got so many ideas of what the book was about from this woman's opinion, and it isn't how I interpret the book at all. It gives me the wrong first impression and it's annoying." — Mar 14, 2013 05:26AM

“I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.”

“Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around? It was a ridiculous question, though, because once you know the truth, you can't ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now.”

“It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening.”
