Often when reading the pages of a favorite book you connect to the character to a point where you somehow trust their advice and they kinda become a best friend. While reading Paper Towns certain words were so relatable that I thought they deserved to be used in my personal life and even in yours too. Here are 22 quotes that show you that every person is just another person, and you’re stuck finding your favorite one.

1. "The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle"
2. "Getting you a date to prom is so hard that the hypothetical idea itself is actually used to cut diamonds"
3. "I could never stop thinking maybe she loved mysteries so much she became one"
4. "If I am ever told that I have one day to live, I will head straight for the hallowed halls of Winter Park high school, where a day has been known to last a thousand years."
5. "Every moment of your life is lived for the future"
6. "That always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereal based on color instead of taste."
7. "When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back, you know?"
8. "Doing stuff never feels as good as you hope it will feel."
9. " Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old."
10. "You keep expecting people not to be themselves."
11. "It is easy to forget how full the world is of people full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined. I feel like this is an important idea, one of those ideas that your brain must wrap itself around slowly, the way pythons eat"
12. "Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are."
13. "What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person."
14. "Imagining isn't perfect. You can't get all the way inside someone else...But imagining being someone else, or the world being something else, is the only way in. It is the machine that kills fascists."
15. "Yeah, although in the end something kills you."
16. "But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive."
17. "Maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them."
18. "Maybe all the strings inside of him broke"
19. "I hope this is the hero's errand, because not following her is the hardest thing i've ever done."
20. "The physical space between us evaporates."
21. "We play the broken strings of our instruments one last time."
22. "Yes, I can see her almost perfectly in this cracked darkness."

Even if you did not read this book hopefully these quotes made you think just a little, and maybe inspired you to give it a read. As my favorite book, Paper Towns is truly about learning that you should never expect people to make you happy, but that the experiences with those people are what makes your life full.
