“I wanted to reach over and touch him. Beauty is a funny thing. It fools you into thinking you like someone when really all you want is to possess them. Ultimately, I guess that’s what desire is. Something I find so beautiful should be mine!”

“Intellectuals are funny because they always think you mean more than you say, when sometimes I don’t mean anything at all.”

“It is difficult to explain the euphoria I experience when I go dancing. It is kind of like breathlessness or hypnosis. You can be absolutely nothing if you want to be. That can be terrifying, especially if you’re always trying to be something or somebody. But for me, I feel most carefree.”

one skill away from succesful, and that skill is selling

the assets will pay for the luxuries.

"and i could hear from his voice that he was smiling. he was happy i hurt like tha. and i knew i had felt the same happiness, anitime he mentioned feeling hurt by me. why was it fun for us to make each other suffer? did that mean it wasn't love? surely that wasn't what love was?"

"but you, you're so disconnected from truth, you were so ready to jump into a reality the two of you made up, just through language....
the experiment didn't work. but by now you're so, so far from all the landmarks. you're just drifting in space."

" i thought how wonderful it would be to walk around with him until the following morning, i really felt that way, even though he stressed me out so much, and all we ever did was mishear each other and say "what?" all the time."

this main character is so incredibly boring im gonna kms

"The notion of a violent stranger passing through town was
almost comforting, in an odd way, because it meant the danger was gone.
And that the danger wasn’t us—my town, my neighbors, the people I’d
known for most of my life."

"i knew "midway the journey" was supposed ot mean midlife crisis. but to me it seemed that one had always been midway the journey of our life, and would be maybe right up until the moment of death."

this girl is exercising the hell out of that free will. i still can't pinpoint her character, it's like a mystery, maybe that's the intriguing part

i guess this is the kidn of book that makes me feel a bit stupid. so far it's loosely slow and the main character's blandness is well nor helping. the monotony of the audiobook is making it so much worse

"and i told him how proud of him i was, and how michael and alice were going to keep living together even if we weren't... we would be on the red carpet collecting statues on their behalf."

“I could see it. I could see it in the same way I could see London, a parallel universe that was accessible with just one definite step from me.”

“when something good happens to you at that age, you can't settle with the notion that its a one-oft, You want it to be the beginning of a tradition. That's how I felt about that night: I wanted it already to be a memory, a foundational one, a first evening of many similar evenings. l wanted tuture nostalgia, a rear view; years-old condness for something that had literally just happened.”

"he's just jealous and lonely. he's in the closet alone now:"

i love my new friends.

“The year in Shandon Street did a lot for me, but it did this most of all. It detached me from any kind of inherited moral system. I stopped sizing others up in accordance with the values I had been taught: ……. learned the value of contest, and of people.”

“I wonder if having them in my head made the sex that bit more extraordi-nary. It was an orgy while still being extraordinarily intimate, and exclusively me and Carey.”

“I don't know who I was trying to impress. I did not want a boy-friend; I did want romance. I wanted passion; I did not want to be someone who was known as easy. I was desperate to be touched; I was terrified of being ruined.”

the conversations with friends lover in me thought this might go another way lmaoo
