“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.”

“- ¿Por qué somos incapaces de reconocer a los genios?- pregunté.
- Porque son diferentes. Los seres humanos normales no quieren que otros se salgan del guión. Somos una civilización de ovejitas blancas que nos seguimos unas a otras rumbo al precipicio. Y de vez en cuando surge una ovejita negra, o roja, o rosa que dice: "¡Eyyy, no es hacia allí, es para el otro lado!" Y todas las ovejitas blancas no escuchan y lo atropellan y maltratan.”

“The pathetic thing I wanted to say to him on the phone – but didn’t – was this: When you're a little kid, you have something. Maybe it's a blanket or a stuffed animal or whatever. For me, it was this stuffed prairie dog that I got one Christmas when I was like three. I don't even know where they found a stuffed prairie dog, but whatever, it sat up on its hind legs and I called him Marvin, and I dragged Marvin around by his prairie dog ears until I was about ten.
And then at some point, it was nothing personal against Marvin, but he started spending more time in the closet with my other toys, and then more time, until finally Marvin became a full-time resident of the closet.
But for many years afterward, sometimes I would get Marvin out of the closet and just hang out with him for a while – not for me, but for Marvin. I realized it was crazy, but I still did it.
And the thing I wanted to say to Tiny is that sometimes, I feel like his Marvin.”
