My favorite Book Quotes

1. Perks of Being a Wallflower:
"I hate you."
My sister said it different than she said it to my dad. She meant it with me. She really did.

"I'm trying not to be."

"I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why. Especially since I know that if they went to another school the person who had their heart broken would have had their heart broken by somebody else, so why does it have to be so personal?"

"I almost didn’t get an A in math, but then Mr. Calo told me to stop asking “why?” all the time and just follow the formulas. So, I did. Now, I get perfect scores on all my tests. I just wish I knew what the formulas did. I honestly have no idea."

 'I don't think —'

'And how many hours a day did you do lessons?' said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.
'Ten hours the first day,' said the Mock Turtle: 'nine the next, and so on.'
'What a curious plan!' exclaimed Alice.
'That's the reason they're called lessons,' the Gryphon remarked: 'because they lessen from day to day.'

3. Fruits Basket:
" I want to share with her all of the weakness in my overly weak self. And I feel like she would let me. Like she would accept me. It's too much. Such a person..I feel sorry for her. Kind people are clung to. They're sought out and taken advantage of. By people like me. That's why I won't get them involved. I can do it on my own. I will keep running on my own. I don't have to be understood. I don't care if people hate me. If I'm alone. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry but I'm going to cling to you." (vol.14)
