    Italo Calvino
    “...childhood boredom is a special kind of boredom. It is a boredom full of dreams, a sort of projection into another place, into another reality. In adulthood boredom is made of repetition, it is the continuation of something from which we are no longer expecting any surprise.”

    نزار قباني
    “This is my last letter
    There will be no others.
    This is the last grey cloud
    That will rain on you,
    After this, you will never again
    Know the rain.
    This is the last drop of wine in my cup
    There will be no more drunkenness.

    This is the last letter of madness,
    The last letter of childhood.
    After me you will no longer know
    The purity of youth
    The beauty of madness.
    I have loved you
    Like a child running from school
    Hiding birds and poems
    In his pockets.
    With you I was a child of
    Hallucinations,
    Distractions,
    Contradictions,
    I was a child of poetry and nervous writing.
    As for you,
    You were a woman of Eastern ways
    Waiting for her fate to appear
    In the lines of the coffee cups.

    How miserable you are, my lady,
    After today
    You won't be in the blue notebooks,
    In the pages of the letters,
    In the cry of the candles,
    In the mailman's bag.
    You won't be
    Inside the children's sweets
    In the colored kites.
    You won't be in the pain of the letters
    In the pain of the poems.
    You have exiled yourself
    From the gardens of my childhood
    You are no longer poetry.”
    Nizar Qabbani, Arabian Love Poems: Full Arabic and English Texts

    John Green
    “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.”

    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.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    John Green
    “You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    Ferdinand de Saussure

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “To love someone, who for whatever reason cannot return your feelings is painful. But if you listen to the poets, perhaps there's a kind of beauty to that love. It burns bright, and it's never tainted by reality or by overuse. It is clear and fierce today as it was the very first day it began. There is a beauty to that.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien
