“I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is improbably biased toward consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it - or my observation of it - is temporary.”
Another chapter in the saga of John Green summing up my thoughts better than I ever could.
I was trying to go with a pack for half hour, chapter of TFIOS, but I gave in and just powered through the second half of the book. I saw a bunch of the plot coming from a mile away but oh my god, I’m still a sobbing mess.
I don’t think it was as good as I was anticipating, but due to my sobbing through the last half, I was too emotional to really care. I think I’ll have a clearer idea of my thoughts after a few rereads.
I also now find the Anne Frank House slightly romantic, but that’s another problem for another day.
