Veronica RothNow she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide- open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of.
About This Quote
The girl I love is so different from me. She’s tall and thin and gets so much attention from the boys and men who pass through her life. I’m short and fat and girls don’t even bother to talk to me. She seems to know all the things that I want to know, but I am ignorant of those things.
I love her because she makes me feel like I am connecting with something greater than myself, like I am part of something that goes beyond my comprehension. I want to tell her how beautiful she is, but she would never believe me because she isn’t as beautiful as the other girls in the world. Her eyes make me think of wide-open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of.
