“If you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all.”
― John Green, Paper Towns

“Sometimes life gets in your way.
it gets all up in your damn way.
But it doesn't get all up in your damn way
because it wants you to just give up and let it take control.
Life doesn't get all up in your damn way because it just wants you to hand it all over and be carried along.

Life wants you to fight it
Learn how to make it your own.
it wants you to grab and axe and hack through the wood.
It wants you to get a sledgehammer and break through concrete.
It wants you to grab a torch and burn through the metal and steel until you can reach through and grab it.

Life wants you to grab all the organized, the alphabetized, the chronological, the sequenced. It wants you to mix it all together,
stir it up,
blend it.”
― Colleen Hoover, Slammed

“Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting.”
― John Green

“We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most.”
― Colleen Hoover, Maybe Someday
