“A Paper Town is a town that's got a paper mill on it.”

“A paper town for a paper girl.”

“The town was paper, but the memories were not.”

“This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die."- Paper Towns”

“she called it a paper town. Like, you know, everything so fake and flimsy.”

“You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town.”

“Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way. And Agloe is a place where a paper creation became real. A dot on the map became a real place, more real than the people who created the dot could never have imagined. I thought maybe the paper cutout of a girl could start becoming real here also. And it seemed like a way to tell that paper girl who cared about popularity and clothes and everything else: 'You are going to the paper towns. And you are never coming back.”
