Famous Jennifer Niven Quotes

“I walk through the black Indiana night, under a ceiling of stars, and think about the phrase "elegance and euphoria," and how it describes exactly what I feel with Violet. For once, I don't want to be anyone but Theodore Finch, the boy she sees. He understands what it is to be elegant and euphoric and a hundered different people most of them flawed and stupid, part asshole, part screwup, part freak, a boy who wants to be easy for the folks around him so that he doesn't worry them and, most of all, easy for himself. A boy who belongs - here in the world, here in his own skin. He is exactly who I want to be and what I want my epitaph to say: The Boy Violet Markey Loves.”

It must be, because enough people live here, and they can’t all think it’s ugly.” He smiles out at the ugly trees and the ugly farmland and the ugly kids as if he can see Oz. As if he can really, truly see the beauty that’s there. In that moment I wish I could see it through his eyes.”

“The thing I don't say is: I want to stay alive. The reason I don't say it is because, given that fat folder in front of him, he'd never believe it. And here's something else he'd never believe—I'm fighting to be here in this shitty, messed-up world. Standing on the ledge of the bell tower isn't about dying. It's about having control. It's about never going to sleep again.”

“Ama sebebi o değil. Sebebi, aslında hiçbir şeyin öneminin olmaması. Ne okul, ne ponpon kız takımı, ne arkadaşlar, erkek arkadaşlar, partiler, yaratıcı yazarlık bölümleri, ne de..” Kollarını tüm dünyayı işaret edercesine iki yana açtı. “Hepsi, ölünceye kadar oyalanmamız için uydurulmuş türlü meşgaleler.”
