“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. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“My genes, my love, are rubber bands and rope - make yourself a structure you can live inside.”
― Aimee Bender, Willful Creatures

“I never once said, This is not who I am. Because, maybe, I didn't know who I was, so I just let someone else tell me.”
― Eric Kahn Gale, The Bully Book

“True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.”
