“Everyone thinks photography is truth, but it’s just a very convincing lie.”

“He is full of roots, while she has only branches.”

“But if you only walk in other people’s steps, you cannot make your own way. You cannot leave a mark.”

“My name’s Addie.” “Goodnight, Addie.”

After 300 years she can finally say her own name out loud <3

That’s 2 people now that have overly apologised to Henry over small normal things. Is this why he remembers her? Something is different about him too where people feel like they have to apologise profusely to him?

“I remember you” after 300 years there must be such contradicting feelings in this moment

I am the same, I wish I was a morning person but I’m too much of a night owl

“If a person cannot leave a mark, do they exist?”

This book is so quotable I love it so far

“It would be years before Henry learned to think of those dark times as storms, to believe that they would pass, if he could simply hold on long enough.”

“How do you walk to the end of the world? she once asked. And when Addie didn’t know, the old woman smiled that wrinkled grin, and answered. One step at a time.”

“…and it is sad, of course, to forget. But it is a lonely thing, to be forgotten. To remember when no one else does.”

“She tells the story of her life to a little carving, as if afraid she’ll forget herself as easily as others do, unaware that her mind is now a flawless cage, her memory a perfect trap. She will never forget, though she’ll wish she could.”

“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives— or to find strength in a very long one.”

“Stories are a way to preserve one’s self. To be remembered. And to forget.”

1.8s is the fastest pit stop ever recorded, I doubt they just do that every time 2.4s is more realistic. I don’t know if I’m nit picking this book more than maybe I should since I watch F1 😅

Where’s the formation lap?

“the loudest words are the ones we live.”

“And try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”

“I guess if it wasn’t beautiful, the tragedy ultimately wouldn’t be sad.”

“Who read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted, even when I didn’t?”
