Okay, this only works if you’ve lost someone close to you, and I think it’s pretty lame, but here goes...
“Thomas Edison’s last words were: “It’s very beautiful over there”. I don’t know where there is, but I believe it’s somewhere, and I sure hope it’s beautiful.”
-Looking For Alaska by John Green
My take on the quote, I don’t think it’s exact.


sally!! (seabunny2004) aww, that's so great!

Thanks! I still don’t think it’s too good, but not terrible. My family, if asked, would probably say ‘Learn science’ or something because they all like science waaaaaay too much. So compared to that I’d say it’s great...
