I was going to take pictures of interesting parts so I could copy it to my notes later, but the whole book is so interesting that I’ve just been taking pictures of every single page lol

This is the most stressful book I’ve ever read

"I ought not to doubt the steadiness of your affection, yet such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new assurances from the object of its interest, and thus it is, that I always feel revived, as by a new conviction, when your words tell me I am dear to you; and, wanting these, I relapse into doubt, and too often into despondency."

"In death there is nothing new or surprising, since we all know that we are born to die."

“In a little while it ain’t gonna be so bad. In a little while.”

I fear I am as clingy as banded shrimp, which mate for life and stay within antenna’s reach of their partner all day.

Nudibranch mention!!!!!

“We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us.”

This is definitely a book for nerds ;)

“The key to fighting isn’t lack of passion, it’s controlled passion. Care about winning. Care about those you defend. You have to care about something.”

“Is that all you can do in the face of tragedy?” Howl asked. “Make toast!”

been awhile since i've read a good epic fantasy novel

"For life is an eternal shipwreck of our hopes."

“They were not farm men any more, but migrant men.”

"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?"

"Sorrow comes in so many ways."

"The Count of Monte Cristo bows to none but the Count of Monte Cristo himself. I do what I please, and it is always well done."

:o

"Does not life pass in waiting?"

"I wish your life may be so calm, so happy, and so fully occupied, that there may be no place for me even in your memory."

“Although many people would like to think of humans as observers of ecology, we are really participants in it, and the changes in the ecosystem are going to affect us.”

“Are we still friends?”
“What else could we be? Only friends know each other well enough to cause this kind of hurt.”
