There are some quotes from this book i found interesting. There are also a vocabulary words i didn't know i found useful.
"The only reason I'm not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way."
"Everyone born of God overcometh the world."
"I would have been more nervous about meeting Mr. Tushman if I'd known I was also going to be meeting some kids from the new school."
"Why anyone would ever choose to sit way up front in class, I don't know."
"I was mostly doodling in my notebook while he talked, but every once in a while i would sneak a look at the other students."
"It even beats Christmas."
"Here's what i think: we've all spent so much time trying to make August think he's normal that he actually thinks he is normal. And the problem is, he's not."
"I don't know if the three of us found each other because we were so alike in so many ways, or that because we found each other, we've become so alike in so many ways."
"Now, unless you want to be treated like baby the rest of your life, or like kid with special needs, you just have to suck it up and go."
"Also, waking up to a snow day is just about my favorite thing in the world. I love that feeling when you first open your eyes in the morning and you don’t even know why everything seems different than usual. Then it hits you: Everything is quite. No cars honking. No buses going down the street. Then you run over to the window, and outside everything is covered in white: the sidewalks, the trees, the cars on the street, your windowpanes. And when that happens on a school day and you find out your school is closed, well, I don’t care how old I get: I’m always going to think that’s the best feeling in the world. And I’m never going to be one of those grownups that use an umbrella when it’s snowing—ever."
"Fortune favors the bold."
"And then in my head I was going, Oh nooooo! Like that kid in Home Alone with his mouth hanging open and his hands on his face. That was the face I was making on the inside."
"Funny how sometimes you worry a lot about something and it turns out to be nothing."
"It’s just love, and no one forgets who they love."
Have to read Andain’s “Beautiful things” (for myself) And watch “the sound of music” movie.
"I loved the way bits of fire dust would float up and disappear into the night air."
"It’s not that I haven’t seen nice sunsets before in the city, because I have-slivers of sunsets between buildings-but I wasn’t used to seeing so much sky in every direction."
"Its so weird how that can be, how you could have a night that’s the worst in your life, but to everybody else it’s just the ordinary night. "
"Like a lamb the slaughter."
"...sometimes duck is just a duck."
"Shall we make a new rule of life...always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?"
"Or whatever politically correct spiritual representation of universal goodness you happen to believe in" he added quickly..."
