101 " But...he had had a long night, and it seemed a waste to force my story on him when he was half asleep. "
― Maureen Johnson , Let it Snow
102 " Sometimes, I just didn’t get Noah. Sometimes I even felt like he dated me as part of his plan, like they were going to have a checklist on the application, and one of the things to tick off was going to be, “Do you have a reasonably intelligent girlfriend who shares your aspirations, and who is fully prepared to accept your limited availability? One who likes to listen to you talk about your own accomplishments for hours at a time? "
103 " He still looked handsome. Not in the same way as Noah. Noah wasn’t flawless. He had no single amazing feature. Instead, he had a confluence of agreeable aspects that were accepted by one and all to add up to one very attractive whole, perfectly packaged in the right clothes. "
104 " My memories of the last year were playing back through my mind at super-speed, but I was looking at them all from a different camera angle. "
105 " He was paying attention. It felt foreign, a little embarrassingly intimate, but kind of great. My eyes filled up. "
106 " Much as I would have liked to, I couldn’t hide upstairs forever. Sooner or later, I was going to have to come down and face the world. "
107 " Which was precisely what I had to do. Go away. Get out of this house and his life while I still had a shred of dignity left. "
108 " It's Keun. He wants to be put on speaker. He's being weird.""Fancy that," said the Duke. "Next you'll tell me that the sun is a mass of incandescent gas. "
― John Green , Let it Snow
109 " It was about pleasant, in a life-sucks-but-at-least-there’s-good-music sort of way. "
― Lauren Myracle , Let it Snow
110 " As I listened to the lyrics – truly listened, instead of just letting them float over me – the almost-pleasant feelings went away. I’d always thought this was an inspirational song about God or something, because of all the hallelujahs. Only it turned out there were words before and after the hallelujahs, and those words were hardly uplifting. "
111 " Well, it’s a heck of a lot better than a broken hallelujah. And also, Please, God, I sure could use some grace. "
112 " Then I noticed his rising blush, and I realized something. Tobin and Angie...their togetherness was new. New enough that being touched by her still came as a glorious, blush-worthy surprise. "
113 " By six-thirty, the sun was officially on the rise, it was pretty. I suppose, if you liked that sort of thing. Fresh starts, new beginnings, the warming rays of hope. "
114 " It’s a program called “Angels Among Us,” she said. “I don’t have to get a degree or anything. "
115 " Oh, no. Christmas is never over, unless you want it to be. "
116 " It’s The Addie Show all over again. Every channel, every network. "
117 " It rang and it rand and it rang. I looked at the screen one last time, then at Stuart, and then I reached my arm back and threw the phone as hard as I could (sadly, not that far), and it vanished into the snow. The eight-year-olds, who were truly fascinated with our every move at this point, chased after it. 'Lost it,' I said. 'Whoops. "
118 " He knows,"I said. "I tell him everything""Does that go both ways?" he asked."Does what go both ways?""You said you tell him everything," he replied. "You didn't say we tell each other everything "
119 " Christmas is never over,unless you want it to be... Christmas is a state of mind. "
120 " Sometimes when we forget to do things for others, it's because we're too wrapped up in our own problems. "
