“Stories were living inside us. I think we were born to tell our stories. After we died, our stories would survive. Maybe it was our stories that fed the universe the energy it needed to keep on giving life.

Maybe all we were meant to do on this earth was to keep on telling stories. Our stories—and the stories of the people we loved.”
― Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World

“I'm not going to sit down while you argue about what rights should or shouldn't be denied to an entire group of people. There are more appropriate topics to debate.”

“Looking at her, I realize I'm not surviving anymore. I'm dancing, and laughing, and living.”
