“It lit up like a Christmas Tree Hazel Grace...”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”
― Aeschylus, Agamemnon

“Books were safe. They had plots that followed predictable patterns, beginnings, middles, and endings. Usually happy, though not always. But if something tragic happened in a book, you could just close it and choose a new one, unlike real life, where events often played out without the protagonist’s consent.”
― Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books

“OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!”
― Rudyard Kipling, Kipling: Poems
