Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.

Some people live in tall buildings, some people live in deep ditches, some people are bright, some people are rusted, there are thousands of kinds of people in the world, don’t ask for clouds, people are like rainbows, and you will know them when you meet them.

I still like this sentence the most, and this translation the most. The feeling of first love, the feeling of heartbeat, all in this moment.

Flipped quotes

  • Juli Baker: [on why she's interested in Bryce] I guess it's something about his eyes... or maybe his smile.

    Richard Baker: Well, what about him?

    Juli Baker: What?

    Richard Baker: You have to look at the whole landscape.

    Juli Baker: What does that mean?

    Richard Baker: A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow, a meadow by itself is just grass, flowers... and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but you put them all together... and it can be magic.

  • Bryce Loski: Flat, glossy, iridescent? What the hell did that mean? And Juli Baker had always just seemed plain to me. Until now.
