my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan.

Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
― John Green

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
― William Faulkner
