“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“Imagínate a todas las personas que conoces a lo largo de la vida. Son muchísimas. Aparecen en forma de oleaje; unos vienen y otros se van con las mareas. Algunas olas son más grandes e impactan con más fuerza que otras. Algunas de estas olas vienen acompañadas por cosas que arrastran desde lo más profundo del mar y que lanzan en tu orilla, dejando una marca que que demuestra que esas personas han estado allí, aunque haga mucho tiempo que la marea retrocedió.
Y eso era lo que Atlas me estaba transmitiendo al decir «te quiero». Me estaba diciendo que yo era la ola más grande con la que se había topado. Y que había dejado tantas cosas en su orilla que mi marca siempre permanecería en su playa, aunque la marea se retirara.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
