That's Like, SO Profound Dude

Lately every ten minute Facebook session results in the viewing of at least 55 quotes that people have shared, oftentimes with the usual suspect captions of "Truth." "Accurate" or my personal favorite, "SO MUCH THIS."  
I admit, sometimes I like the quotes.  Often, as you can imagine, they warrant an eyeroll on my side of the screen.  What's the deal with quotes in old typewriter font?  They could say literally anything and people would be all over it, like OMG ACCURATE.  Also, admit it - most of them have to do with how she is hurting, but she is strong, or she is going through stuff, but she smiles, or she is like raindrops on the drive-thru window at a Wendy's on a chilly autumn day.  
To which I think (to both the poster and myself), for goodness' sake, get off Facebook and go read a book!
Books are FULL of SO MUCH THIS!  They're full of truthbombs and accurates!  Some books are even completely written in typewriter font! Like OMG, you just. couldn't. even.  Could you?

Just for fun, here a just a few quotes I love from my 5-star reads:

― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

“People die, I think, but your relationship with them doesn't. It continues and is ever-changing.”

“Do you like Moby Dick?" he asks.
"I hate it," she says. "And I don't say that about many things. Teachers assign it, and parents are happy because their kids are reading something of 'quality.' But it's forcing kids to read books like that that make them think they hate reading.” 
― Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

“In fact, if I were a betting man, I’d wager that only 10 percent of the English instruction list will answer your call for nominations. Why? First, because more than a third of our faculty now consists of temporary (adjunct) instructors who creep into the building under cover of darkness to teach their graveyard shifts of freshman comp; they are not eligible to vote or to serve. Second, because the remaining two-thirds of the faculty, bearing the scars of disenfranchisement and long-term abuse, are busy tending to personal grudges like scraps of carrion on which they gnaw in the gloom of their offices.” 
― Julie Schumacher, Dear Committee Members

“I'm not the messenger at all. 
I'm the message. ”
