“I didn't understand how someone could be both God and the devil. How the same person could destroy you and save you. When everything I was, good and bad, was knotted with threads of his making, how was I supposed to know whether to love or hate him?”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Forever

“Do I dare Disturb the universe?”
― T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land, Prufrock and Other Poems

“I can't tell the difference," I said. "Between not fighting and giving up.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Forever

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
