How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman. (Prologue.1)
Quentin says this as though we're supposed to know who Margo Roth Spiegelman is. He's as excited about this as we would be if we lived next door to Jennifer Lawrence or Channing Tatum. He totally idolizes this three-named girl.
Quote #2
[Margo] wore white shorts and a pink T-shirt that featured a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. It is difficult to explain how awesome I found this T-shirt at the time. (Prologue.5)
Quentin loves everything about Margo, even her nine-year-old fashion sense. He is to Margo Roth Spiegelman what bronies are to My Little Pony. (Mar-bro Roth Spiegelman? Margo Roth Spiegel-bro? We're in over our heads with this one…)
Quote #3
[Margo] was absolutely unprecedented in every way. (1.3.1)
Margo Roth Spiegelman is practically a mythical character—Quentin even refers to her as a queen at one point, although goddess might be more appropriate. There's always a gulf between a goddess and mortals, and neither one really understands the other.
Quote #4
"She's just doing Margo stuff. Making stories. Rocking worlds." (2.1.64)
Would people be disappointed in Margo if she started acting "normal"? Margo has put a lot of pressure on herself to live up to all her antics in order to continue receiving admiration from her peers.
Quote #5
She called out, "Thank you for my two hundred dollars!" (2.5.20)
Quentin starts receiving admiration from other students when, after Margo leaves, he puts a stop to some bullying all by himself.
Quote #6
"Look at our boy Ben! He's some kind of autistic savant when it comes to keg stands. Apparently he's like setting a world record right now or something." (2.13.34)
While Quentin wouldn't be caught dead doing a keg stand, Ben is pretty excited to set the keg stand record. Different social circles admire different feats.
Quote #7
It must be said that Lacey Pemberton was very beautiful. She was not the kind of girl who could make your forget about Margo Roth Spiegelman, but she was the kind of girl who could make you forget about a lot of things. (2.13.64)
Maybe if Lacey Pemberton had three names (Lacey Roth Pemberton? Lacey Margo-Roth Pemberspiegelmanton?), she could make Quentin forget about Margo Roth Spiegelman.
Quote #8
"I honestly never thought of her as anything but my crazy beautiful friend who does all the crazy beautiful things." (2.16.3)
Even Lacey Pemberton sees Margo as less of a friend and more as some sort of goddess or idol or Top Model contestant or something.
