“It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.'
'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said.
'It can be sort of blinding,' he said.
'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said.
'Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?'
'You cannot.'
'It is my burden, this beautiful face.'
'Not to mention your body.'
'Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.”

“Книгите
На К. Гълъбов
Пред мен е книгата разтворена
и денем, и нощя;
все сам, аз не познавам хората,
не зная и света.
Прилитат и отлитат птиците,
изгрява ден, залязва ден:
аз дните си като странùците
прелиствам уморен.
Години да четеш за чуждия
живот на някой чужд,
а твоят, никому ненужен,
да мине глух и пуст.
До мене ти не стигна никога,
о, зов на любовта,
и аз изгубих зарад книгите
живота и света.
1926 г.”

“I learned three things in Zurich during the war. I wrote them down. Firstly, you’re either a revolutionary or you’re not, and if you’re not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can’t be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary... I forget the third thing.”

“Welcome to Earth, young man,” I said. “It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, Joe, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of: Goddamn it, Joe, you’ve got to be kind!”
