“La plupart des gens que nous croisons sont quelconques, on n'en retient rien, sinon le regret du temps et de l'énergie perdus. Dans la constellation d'étoiles ternes qui traversent nos vies brille pourtant, à de rares et précieuses occasions, un soleil à portée de main. Parfois un parent, souvent un ami ou encore un professeur. Les plus chanceux en croiseront deux ou trois qui marqueront durablement leur personnalité, imprégneront un peu de magnificence dans le tissu de leur psyché.”
― David Goudreault, Ta mort à moi

“You hear a lot about the benefits of insanity or whatever - like, Dr. Karen Singh had once told me this Edgar Allan Poe quote: "The question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence." I guess she was trying to make me feel better, but I find mental disorders to be vastly overrated. Madness, in my admittedly limited experience, is accompanied by no superpowers; being mentally unwell doesn't make you loftily intelligent any more than having the flu does.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“It may be difficult to believe," he said. "I know it may have come across as... romantic, because of how I act when I get her letters. Because of that dress she sent me. But sometimes two people have a deep connection. It makes romance seem trivial. It isn't about anything carnal. It's about souls. About the deepest part of who you are as a person.”
