“And I'm disgusted at myself
for the slight excitement
that shivers up my back

at the same time that I wish
my body could fold into the tiniest corner
for me to hide in.”
― Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X

“Everything that comes together falls apart. Everything. The chair I’m sitting on. It was built, and so it will fall apart. I’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. And you’re gonna fall apart. The cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. The Buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: Entropy increases. Things fall apart.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“God, if you're a thing with ears:
please, please.”
― Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X

“I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
