I always though that the day I discovered my favourite quote it would be from some piece of classic literature like Gatsby or from inspirational figure like Einstein, whose words changed our perception of the world today. But instead, they actually come from a modern day teenage girls book. It's excellent may I add, not just your typical cheesy chic-flick.

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something." -Eleanor and Park - Rainbow Rowell.

It makes you feel all warm inside right? Well it does to me anyway. With a mixture between the thousands of different interpretations that could arise from this quote and the reference of comparing love to art, my heart was soon stolen and I have started to engrave this into every notebook I own.

My interpretation or wild thoughts on this may be different to others, but the way in which I view this is the reason I love it so.

She never looked nice in the conventional way that everyone finds appealing, she was herself and through how she was presented you could see that. Just like how not all art is appealing to everyone but some artists create pieces to express their feelings, their memories, their passions in life. Some people understand this art and see beauty in the artists style because they feel a connection of understanding or it just catches their eye and makes them want more. In the quote, he saw past just the image and into who she was and he got the real emotion behind the art and from that got drawn in and connected. It shows that it doesn't matter what someone looks like, as they are an expression of themselves and someone will see that and fall in love with the way that they are distorted from societies ideal.
