A fraction of the whole

Há dias apercebi-me de duas coisas:

1) da quantidade de folhas com citações de livros que tenho pelo apartamento (e se calhar mais em Portugal), chego a encher uma caixa(!)

2) que não costumo partilhar as ditas frases. Eis algumas do A fraction of the whole:

A ver se me esforço por melhorar o segundo ponto:

"We were lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way."P.6

"(...) when you put that much effort to forget someone, the effort becomes a memory."P.9

"People don't understand me(...) it's sometimes irritating because they think they do."P.22

"(...) Anyone who says a friend of theirs hasn't changed in years just can't tell a mask from an actual face." P.23

"I feel like I took a wrong turn but went so far down the road I didn't have the energy to turn back.(...) It's never too late to turn back if you make a wrong turn. Even if it takes you a decade to backtrack, you must do it. Don't get stuck because the road back seems too long or too dark. Don't be afraid to have nothing." P.210
