“You have been in every way all that anyone could be… If anybody could have saved me, it would have been you.” – Theodore Finch, page 314īefore he died, Cesare Pavese, believe in the great Manifesto wrote, “We do not remember days, we remember moments.” I remember her hand in mine and how that felt, as if something and someone belonged to me. You brought me spring.” – Violet Markey, page 265 And then because I’m the one thinking too much, and because she’s different from all other girls and because I really, really don’t want to screw this up, I concentrate on kissing her on the banks of the Blue Hole, and I let that be enough. “Ultraviolet Remarkey-able I think I love you.” So that she doesn’t feel she has to say it back, I kiss her again and wonder if I dare do anything else, go any further, because I don’t want to ruin this moment. You should know what you’re getting into before getting involved.” – Theodore Finch, page 227 But I can’t promise I won’t pick you apart piece by piece, until you’re in a thousand pieces, just like me. I can’t love anyone because it’s not fair to anyone who loves me back. I can’t promise you I’ll stay around, not because I don’t want to… It’s hard to explain. “For once, I don’t want to be anyone but Theodore Finch, the boy she sees.” – Theodore Finch, page 202 “You know what I like about you, Ultraviolet Remarkey-able? Everything.” – Theodore Finch, page 200 “None of us knows how long we have, maybe another month, maybe another fifty years – I like living as if I only have that two days.” – Theodore Finch, page 194 “You are all the colours in one, at full brightness.” – Thedore Finch, page 172 What if we could just cut out the bad and keep the good? This is what I want to do with Violet – give her only the good, keep away the bad, so that good is all we ever have around us.” – Theodore Finch, page 168 “What if life could be this way? Only the happy parts, none of the terrible, not even the mildly unpleasant. It’s easier just to do the right things from the start so there’s nothing to apologize for.” – Theodore Finch, page 129 You have to live your life like you’ll never be sorry. A genuine one, which is hard to come by these days.” – Theodore Finch, page 35 These are my favorite ones, the ones that made it into my ‘2015 Book Memories’ jar, and I decided it’s time to open that jar and share them with you 🙂 All The Bright Places was one of those books for me and while reading it I came across so many beautiful quotes that I loved, that made me cry and that I couldn’t stop thinking about, quotes that I had to write down because I didn’t want to forget. There are some books, however, that stay with you for a long, long time and make you think for days, months or even years after you’ve read the final page and put the book down. Books that even though you liked, weren’t deep enough to touch you.

There are some books you read and never think about again.
