abligurition: An actual, if very obscure, English word, which means “the spending of too much money on food.”

Colin, An Abundance of Katherines by John Green 

[readingisheaven]

They like their coffee like their ex-boyfriends: bitter.

Colin, An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

He could see now why his mum chose friends, instead of just putting up with anyone she just happened to bump into, or sticking with people that supported the same football team, or wore the same clothes, which was pretty much what happened at school; his mum must have conversations like this with Suize, conversations which moved, conversations where each thing the person said seemed to lead you on somewhere.

Marcus, About a Boy by Nick Hornby

[readingisheaven]

"I would never stick my head in a gas oven at the end of an evening with you." He knew the moment he'd said it that it was a big mistake. He'd meant it but that was precisely what provoked the hilarity: Rachel laughed and laughed until her eyes filled with tears. "That", she said in between great gulps of air, "is . . . the . . . most . . . romantic . . . thing . . . anyone's ever said to me."

About a Boy by Nick Hornby

[readingisheaven]

Those two words were 'the point', As in 'What's that point?'; 'I don't see the point'; 'there's just no point' (a phrase which omits the 'the', but one that counts anyway, because the 'the' wasn't the point of 'the point', really)

Will, About a Boy by Nick Hornby

Then again, it's easy to say you don't care about money if you have plenty of it.

Jacob, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ranson Riggs

[readingisheaven]

Half the time he thought he had no business leading men at all.         The other half the time, he figured that he thought too much.

Elend Venture, Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson

[readingisheaven]

And if you really were weak of will, would you be able to disagree with me?

Vin, Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson

[readingisheaven]

There was a time When I thought I liked vagina But then came a summer When i realized something finer I knew from the moment he took top bunk How desperately i wanted into his trunk Joseph Templeton Oglethorpe the Third Left my heart singing like a bird Summer of gay! So lovely! So queer! Summer of gay! Set the tone for my year! Mama and Papa didn't know they were lighting the lamp The moment they sent me to Starstruck Drama Camp So many Hamlets to choose from Some tortured, some cute I was all ready to swordfight Or take the Orphelia route There were boys who called me sister And sistahs who taught me about boys Joseph wispered me sweet nothings And i fed him Almond Joys Summer of gay! So fruity! So whole! Summer of gay! I realized angel would be my role! Mama and Papa didn’t know how well their money was spent When I learned about love from our production of rent Such kissing on the catwalks Such competition for the leads We fell in love so often and fully Across all races and sexualities and creeds! Summer of gay! Ended soon! Lasted long! Summer of gay! My heart still carries its song! Joseph and I didn’t make it to September But you can’t unlight a gay-colored ember I will never go back To the heterosexual way ’Cause now every day (Yes, every day) Is the sum-mer of gay!

Tiny Cooper, Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green

[readingisheaven]

me: who are you? tiny: tiny cooper! me: you can't really be named tiny. tiny: no. that's irony. me: oh. tiny (tsking): no need to 'oh' me. i'm fine with it. i'm big-boned. me: dude, it isn't just your bones. tiny: just means there's more to love! me: but that requires so much effort. tiny: darling, i'm worth it.

Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green

it runs afoul of what i call the birdshit rule. you know, how people say it's good luck if a bird shits on you? and people believe it! I just want to grab them and say 'dude, don't you realize this whole superstition was made up because no one could think of anything else good to say to a person who'd just shit upon?' and people do that all the time - and not with something as temporary as birdshit, either. you lost your job? great opportunity! failed at life? there's only one way to go - up! dumped by a boyfriend who never existed? i know it sucks, but in a way, it's good!

It won't be cold in the parlor. Or ... well, maybe it will. But everyone knows that ice cream is worth the truble of being cold. Like all things virtuous, you have to suffer to gain the reward.

Melody Muns, The Rithmatist by Brandson Sanderson

[readingisheaven]

"What! That's a tragedy." "Melody, everything is a tragedy to you." "Not having ice cream," she proclaimed, "is the culmination of all disasters! That's it. No more discussion. We're going. Follow."

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

His pride does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, every thing in his favor, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud.

Miss Luca, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

[readingisheaven]

Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

[readingisheaven]

Heaven forbid! - That would be the greatest misfortune of all - To find a man agreeable whom one is determined to hate! - Do not wish me such an evil.

Elizabeth Bennet, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
