Quote by John Green
The whole thing was the precise opposite of what I figured it would be: slow and patient and quiet and neither particularly painful nor particularly ecstatic

Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker had certain expectations about a situation or an experience, but it turned out completely different. They anticipated something fast, impatient, noisy, and filled with intense emotions. However, their reality was the opposite – slow, patient, quiet, and neither extremely painful nor extremely joyful.
