“Your smile is back.' That's what Dante said.

'Smiles are like that. They come and go.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Douglas R. Hofstadter
“Where There’s Pattern, There’s Reason The key thought in the preceding few lines is the article of faith that this pattern cannot merely be a coincidence. A mathematician who finds a pattern of this sort will instinctively ask, “Why? What is the reason behind this order?” Not only will all mathematicians wonder what the reason is, but even more importantly, they will all implicitly believe that whether or not anyone ever finds the reason, there must be a reason for it. Nothing happens “by accident” in the world of mathematics.”
Douglas R. Hofstadter, I Am a Strange Loop

“Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

“Scars. A sign that you had been hurt. A sign that you had healed.”
