41 " I couldn’t even count how many times I’d been disappointed by the truth. "
― Chelsea Sedoti , The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett
42 " The most beautiful thing about the world is how much is unknown to us. "
43 " What’s your favorite thing about her?”“Her laugh,” Enzo said without hesitation. “She laughs all the time. She makes life seem so easy. "
44 " Confusion is like curiously- it reminds us we’re alive. To not feel confused means we no longer care. Not caring is death. "
45 " On the other hand, I'd learned from Enzo's stories that sometimes it's better not knowing the ending. The most magical part of life is the mystery. When she killed herself, Lizzie gave that up. "
46 " I wanted friends who talked about characters from books like they were real people, friends who would make up elaborate games with me because anything we imagined was better than something that already existed.

53 " Meeting Enzo changed everything. It was Mark Twain getting on a bus and sitting down next to Huck Finn. Or F. Scott Fitzgerald running into Jay Gatsby at the grocery store. It was meeting someone I invented and realizing I hadn’t actually invented him at all. For once, I wasn’t just pretending. "
54 " Don’t confuse being popular with being interesting, "
55 " We all have cosmic awareness inside of us. We’re born knowing everything about the world, and then society makes us forget it. But there’s still a part of us that remembers. What do you see when you look inside yourself? "
56 " Confusion is like curiosity—it reminds us we’re alive. To not feel confused means we no longer care. Not caring is death. "
57 " You only know the part of the story people want you to see. "
58 " I wanted friends who talked about characters from books like they were real people, friends who would make up elaborate games with me because anything we imagined was better than something that already existed. "
59 " Mom’s expression told me she was quite serious. Like she might try to murder me if I made any attempt to resist. Which doesn’t mean I didn’t consider resisting, because I did. "
60 " And if you’re really lucky, you might even meet people who are weird in the exact same way you are and feel like you’ve finally found a place where you fit in. "
