What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person.
→ This quote is situated seconds after finding Margo in an abandoned barn. After almost giving up, they see her car and find her in a barn sitting on desk and writing. In the moment that Margo is walking towards them, Q is realising that he has not loved Margo since they were little, but the idea of her. And in that moment he not only realised that he loved the idea of Margo more than he loves the actual human being, he also comes to the conclusion that this in itself is very dangerous as well.
→ I'm so in love with this quote because I think that everybody has expectations. But mostly we have expectations of people and sometimes we just got to remember that even though we look up to people, they are nothing more than we are. They still make mistakes and struggle themselves. Maybe if we simply stop putting them on a pedestal, we see them eye to eye for who they are and have a chance to fall for themselves instead of who me made them out to be.
