i love both the book and movie

Seriously, the words in this book are so beautiful. Here are some of my favorite quote from flipped. (Thanks, Mr. Wendelin Van Draanen!)

“My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you're floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes. They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.” 

“To by held above the earth and be brushed by the wind," she said,"it's like your heart has been kissed by beauty.”  

“Somehow the silence seemed to connect us in a way like words never could." 

“Get beyond his eyes and his smile and the sheen of his hair -- Look at what's really there.”  

“It's easy to look back and see it, and it's easy to give the advice. But the sad fact is, most people don't look beneath the surface until it's too late.”  

“A painting is more than the sum of its parts,' he would tell me, and then go on to explain how the cow by itself is just a cow, and the meadow by itself is just grass and flowers, and the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light, but put them all together and you've got magic.” 

“All of a sudden I didn't fit in anywhere. Not at school, not at home...and every time I turned around, another person I'd known forever felt like a stranger to me. Even I felt like a stranger to me.”  

“What he did to my heart was sheer, inexplicable, magic.”  

“Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.” 

 “I'd scale that monster sycamore if I could. Right to the top. And I'd yell her name across the rooftops for the whole world to hear."

“I had liked him for all the wrong reasons.” 

"Man, I'll dive after her into a chicken coop full of poop if that's what it takes. I'll ride my bike all the stinkin' way to school for the rest of eternity if it means being with her”  

 "How can she sit there and laugh and look so beautiful?!"
