Jumping back into this book this evening. It's been very dark thus far, but also lovely at the same time.

I’m sick of being young. Inexperienced.
Clever at knowing but not at living.

All this business, it’s bound up with my bossy attitude to life. I’ve always known where I’m going, how I want things to happen. And they have happened as I have wanted, and I have taken it for granted that they have because I know where I’m going. But I have been lucky in all sorts of things.

I’ve always tried to happen to life; but it’s time I let life happen to me.

Another one was: killing him was breaking my word to what I believe. Some people would say—you’re only a drop, your word-breaking is only a drop, it wouldn’t matter. But all the evil in the world’s made up of little drops. It’s silly talking about the unimportance of the little drops. The little drops and the ocean are the same thing.

Kidnapping is wrong in general but why did he have to kidnap a girl that is soooooo boring.
Jesus her part of the book truly makes me suffer

Very very clever. Why isn’t this book studied and discussed instead of Lolita?

Ab the joys of incels in literature XD

I don't want much.
'I know you don't. Only the things that I have to give anyway. The way I look and speak and move. But I'm other things. I have other things to give. And I can't give them to you, because I don't love you.'
