I have no words

"I wanted to be good. I wanted to love someone, and to be loved in return" oh Evan sweetheart

He truly receives any/all rejection as an indictment, as proof that he is universally unworthy and unwanted. He will even miss fire, willfully, to prove it again.

Nothing gayer than a straight man. As usual.

HOLY SHIT

jesus christ, John Boyne

oh Jesus

this is diabolically good, Rachel you’re insane

"What a humam thing to want something so badly you let it hurt you." 😵‍💫

“she stood up and approached me and, for the first time, I realize that she had grown to a height where we could look each other directly in the eye” chills.

behind every villainous criminal man is a woman who is really at fault if you think about it 🙂‍↕️

no it’s not even “willful ignorance” it’s willful COMPLIANCE

After her commentary on page 47, we KNOW she’s not an idiot! And not without her own understanding of the evils of men. This is willful ignorance. To protect her understanding of her life and her place in her marriage and her family. At the expense of her daughter’s safety.

“I recall Rebecca’s question of me, after it all came out.
‘Did you know all along and just didn’t care?’”
holy actual shit

“And to keep the peace, I did as he asked. I never returned to (the pool) nor did I ever again meet the friends I had inadvertently made” baby WHY did you marry this guy???

“it is imperative to find a woman to blame for a man’s crimes”

“All these men, all these fucking men. Sacred and hallowed and venerated for two thousand years… it was the women, and only the women, who were there for Him at the end when the men betrayed Him, denied Him… Here is Veronica wiping His face. Here are the women of Jerusalem greeting Him as He carries His burden. Here is Mary, weeping at the base of the cross.”

“The whole business of the Twelve Apostles has always bothered me, the hard-nosed maleness of their clique, the decision from the start to exclude women from their number. Most became saints, I think, but did that prevent them from leering at the women who served their food, or making vulgar remarks about girls they noticed on the streets?”

hey so if my baby boy gargoyle doesn’t make it I will be killing myself

"to those who look upon the world and feel despair. I promise there is hope to find, yet. Love to spend, yet. There just has to be."

Okay so DAMN thats a hell of a dedication.

“‎Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. So you mustn’t be frightened, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety... moves over your hands and over everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall.”

"take pleasure in your growth, in which no one can accompany you, and be kind-hearted towards those you leave behind"

okay so this book is not at all what I thought it was and is in fact 99% about pregnancy/ potential motherhood/ IVF

“You are so young, all still lies ahead of you, and I should like to ask you, as best I can, dear Sir, to be patient towards all that is unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves… Do not now strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now.“

right right right me when I just accidentally kill the evil god king that no one else could kill for the last 3,000 pages

new name for Wit just dropped?
