I love quotes. I love quotes so much that I have three tattooed on me. "Out the ash I rise with my red hair and eat men like air." "She is hotter than a thousands suns, an elegant whirlwind of golden-red. A ginger tempest." "It seems my soul is a gypsy."
It's honestly so hard to actually narrow down a favorite quote. As an avid reader, I come across so many lines that really speak to me. Then, one night scrolling through Pinterest, I came across something along the lines of "15 YA Books To Read Before The Movies". There I found The Fault In Our Stars, which killed me. I cried through the whole book and then through the movie. I loved John Green so much and he had so many good lines that I immediately bought Paper Towns, which I loved almost as much. Looking For Alaska is next on my list.
I said all of this, leading you to believe that my favorite quote is a John Green quote. It's not. Before The Fault In Our Stars, I read The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. This book fit squarely into my soul like a puzzle piece. I loved EVERYTHING about how Stephen Chbosky wrote this book. I started crying in the first few pages because it felt like I was writing it. It, to me, is a true coming of age novel and is so spot on, on how it feels to feel like you're going through life unnoticed. And then I read this line.
I want to be responsible for a few chosen words that hit someone in the exact way it's supposed to. What's your favorite quote?

Your tattoos are so beautiful, I am quite fond of Syvia Plath so I am biased towards that one of course. I haven't read any of the John Green books but I know I should, I've heard they are so lovely.
I never read Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I regret a little bit. But I watched the movie and it hit me pretty hard because it felt like a reflection of emotions and struggles I was dealing with at the time. I cried and laughed and at points felt like the movie was speaking directly to me. I love this quote, thanks for sharing!
