    John Green
    “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.”

    “There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

    John Green
    “Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
    'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
    'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
    'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
    'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.'
    I was kind of crying by then.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “I would love to say
    that you
    make me
    weak in the knees
    but

    you
    make my body

    it has knees
    at all.”

    “I promise you
    I will try harder
    to be better.
    I
    have battled with things
    inside me
    for longer than you know;
    I do not know
    what they are
    or why they are there,
    I only know
    that they feel
    manageable,
    defeatable,
    when I
    am around
    You.”

    “Some days I wake up
    and all I feel
    are the fractures
    in the flesh
    that covers
    the only me
    I've ever known.
    Some days,
    it's those exact
    fissures
    that let the light
    hiding inside me
    pour out
    and cover
    in gold
    everyone
    that found enough beauty
    in the cracks
    to stand
    close.”
    Tyler Knott Gregson

    “Somewhere
    someone
    thinks they love
    someone else
    exactly like
    I
    love you.
    Somewhere
    someone shakes
    from the ripple
    of a thousand butterflies
    inside a
    single stomach.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is packing their
    bags
    to see the world
    with someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is reaching through
    the most
    terrifying few
    feet of space
    to hold the
    hand
    of someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is watching
    someone else’s
    chest
    rise and fall
    with the
    breath
    of slumber.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is pouring
    ink like blood
    onto pages
    fighting
    to say the truth
    that has
    no words.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is waiting
    patient
    but exhausted
    to just
    be
    with someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is opening
    their eyes
    to a sunrise
    in someplace
    they have never
    seen.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is pulling out
    the petals
    twisting the
    apple stem
    picking up
    the heads up penny
    rubbing the
    rabbits foot
    knocking on
    wood
    throwing
    coins into
    fountains
    hunting for
    the only clover
    with only 4 leaves
    skipping over
    the cracks
    snapping the
    wishbone
    crossing their
    fingers
    blowing out
    the candles
    sending dandelion
    seeds into the
    air
    ushering eyelashes
    off their thumbs
    finding the first
    star
    and waiting for
    11:11 on
    their clock
    to spend their
    wishes
    on someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is saying
    goodbye
    but somewhere
    someone else
    is saying
    hello.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is sharing their first
    or their last
    kiss
    with their
    or no longer their
    someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is wondering
    if how they feel
    is how the other
    they
    feels about them
    and if both theys
    could ever become
    a they
    together.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is the decoder ring
    to all of
    the great mysteries
    of life
    for someone
    else.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is the treasure map.
    Somewhere
    someone
    thinks they love
    someone else
    exactly like
    I
    love you.
    Somewhere
    someone
    is wrong.”

    Tessa Dare
    “I was afraid. Of getting hurt in other ways. To be truthful, I still am."
    His thumb stroked her cheek. "I would never hurt you."
    "I don't think you can promise me that." She squeezed his bruised fingers. "But it makes things a bit more equal, to know that I can hurt you, too."
    His gaze fell to her lips. He said simply, without any trace of irony, "You are killing me.”
    Tessa Dare, One Dance with a Duke

    “because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”
    John Green
