“But you gotta live your own life. You gotta take care a your own shit before you get started doing things for errybody else.”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“When you convert a good book to a film. stupid things happen”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“I'm not really putting this very well. My point is this: This book contains precisely zero Important Life Lessons, or Little-Known Facts About Love, or sappy tear-jerking Moments When We Knew We Had Left Our Childhood Behind for Good, or whatever. And, unlike most books in which a girl gets cancer, there are definitely no sugary paradoxical single-sentence-paragraphs that you're supposed to think are deep because they're in italics. Do you know what I'm talking about? I'm talking about sentences like this:

The cancer had taken her eyeballs, yet she saw the world with more clarity than ever before.

Barf. Forget it. For me personally, things are in no way more meaningful because I got to know Rachel before she died. If anything, things are less meaningful. All right?”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“So the rich kids aren't the alpha group of the school. The next most likely demographic would be the church kids: They're plentiful, and they are definitely interested in school domination. However, that strength -- the will to dominate -- is also their greatness weakness, because they spend so much time trying to convince you to hang out with them, and the way they try to do that is by inviting you over to their church. 'We've got cookies and board games,' they say, or that sort of thing. 'We just got a Wii set up!' Something about it always seems a little off. Eventually, you realize: These same exact sentences are also said by child predators.”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“One thing I've learned about people is that the easiest way to get them to like you is to shut up and let them do the talking.”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
