Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love.
Charlie is a lovable character, during the beginning, middle and end of his journey; no matter how he changes. His thought process is brutally heart-breaking and thought-provoking. I have never had a book that has made me question what happiness is and the levels of happiness we sacrifice as humans to reach goals or the pressures of society. What we sometimes break and throw away to gain knowledge and skills.
I don't think I'll ever recover from this. This is another book I'll be rereading every year.

Remembering a lot of painful memories sucked. There's a reason why the unconscious is there to help us cope with life's greatest challenges. Being knowledgeable has its perks and curses.
Experiments may be magical, but not an assurance of permanence. It's like being sharp, but we need to maintain it in our own way.
Algernon! You're a great metaphor!
I will never forget this story.
Thank you, Daniel✨
