an abundance of katherines: chapter nineteen - pages 197-209 (becca)

Colin and Lindsey are at her cave. Colin tells her about all of the Katherines.

memorable lines:
page 198:
"Colin, of course, did not believe in running when walking would suffice - but here and now, walking would not."
{This absolutely shows Colin's changes.}

"... the darkness became so complete that trees and rocks became mere shadows..."
{The description astounds me.}

page 199:
"'People are supposed to care. It's good that people mean something to you, that you miss people when they're gone.'"

page 200:
"'But they like me as they remember me, not as I am now.'"
{Why is this book so brilliant?}

"'I was thinking about your mattering business. I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you do.'"
{Lindsey you beautiful girl.}

page 201:
"'I don't think you can ever fill the empty space with the thing you lost.'"
{Colin, your realization blows my mind.}

"'It's funny, what people will do to be remembered.'
'Well, or to be forgotten, because someday no one will know who's really buried there.'"

page 207:
"'And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.'"
{How profound and thoughtful.}

page 208:
"'That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of.'
'The people who've been in your secret hiding places.'
'The people you bite your thumb in front of.'"
