"I am bound to state that she never told me he was good-looking. Women have no appreciation of good looks." GAY!

"In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well informed man,—that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-àbrac shop, all monsters and dust, and everything priced above its proper value."

"Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to some one who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer’s day."

"If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat."

i wonder about this madeleine character

kicking my feet and giggling rn why are are they so adorable ahhhh

okay so the audiobook adds to the general ambience so much (tho i only listen to josh's chapters because it takes like 2x the time to get through one chapter and Aly's voice doesn't sound as good sped up i fear) but having josh's voice along w the words on the screen is like so good because i get to truly experience his full cutie patootieness <3

this is the first time ever using an audiobook (im reading along as i go) and its definitely interesting!! but my eyes keep skipping ahead and the more i speed it up the less cool the voices sound :( woe is me

josh is such a silly goose
