Jesus Marquez

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“It’s all fine to say, “Time will heal everything, this too shall pass away. People will forget”—and things like that when you are not involved, but when you are there is no passage of time, people do not forget and you are in the middle of something that does not change.”
― John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

“Ah, the prayers of the millions, how they must fight and destroy each other on their way to the throne of God.”
― John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat

“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska
