paper towns - by john green - quote - my miracle ...

“The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightening, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the Queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.” 
― John Green, Paper Towns

paper towns - quote - john green - book

“Maybe its like you said before, all of us being cracked open. Like each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And then things happen - these people leave us, or don’t love us, or don’t get us, or we don’t get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And the vessel starts to crack in places. And I mean, yeah once the vessel cracks open, the end becomes inevitable. Once it starts to rain inside the Osprey, it will never be remodeled. But there is all this time between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And its only that time that we see one another, because we see out of ourselves through our cracks and into others through theirs. When did we see each other face to face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade, but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.” 
― John Green, Paper Towns

“That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.”

Kağıttan Kentler by John Green - Okusak Mı?

Kağıttan Kentler by John Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bir solukta okunulacak bir kitap ama benim okumam , araya giren gündelik hayat gereksinimleri sebebiyle, aylarımı aldı.
Kitaba ilk başladığımda "Aynı Yıldızın Altında" ya benzer hiç bir şey göremeyince şaşırdım ve birazda hevesim kırıldı.Yazarın az çok kendisini tekrar etmesini bekliyordum,tıpkı Serdar Ortaç şarkıları gibi yada ne bileyim Rachel Gibson kitapları gibi.Kendini bir şekilde tekrar etmekte kötülük olduğunu sanmıyorum,aynı çeşidin farklı varyasyonlarını sunarak dinleyen yada okuyanları hemde muhtemelen kendilerini tatmin etmiş oluyorlar ki bence hiç bir sakıncası yok.Her ne kadar Serdar Ortaç pek dinlemesemde Rachel Gibson kitaplarını çok severek okurum.Ancak John Green'in şu ana kadar okuduğum 2 kitabında da fazlasıyla farklılıklar gördüğümden kendisine daha da hayran oldum.Farklı bir düşünce sistematiği olduğunu düşünüyorum.
Kağıttan Kentler önce bir ergen kitabı gibi iken benim için,son sayfalarda felsefi çıkarımlar yaparak okuyucuyu düşündürdüğünü fark ettiğim bambaşka bir hal aldı.Sıkılmadan,merakla,hemen bitmesin diye sindirerek okumak isteyeceğiniz bir kitap.
