“Henry is a human being, just as you are a human being. Consider yourself for a moment—everything you’ve overcome, everything you’ve survived. Think of the people who loved you up into your now. Think of how hard school is or was, how you were lucky or blessed to meet people you could love and who could love you. Think about how rare and precious humans are, and how many of them you get to worry for and care about. Then, if you can, find a way to multiply that times 1,250,000. That is why we must work together to end tuberculosis and all other diseases of injustice.”
― John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

“It scared me, that the only thing between this moment of calm and the biggest tragedy of my life was me choosing not to do it. That really tripped me out, that everyone's life was the precarious. That there wasn't some all-knowing mechanism in place that stopped things that shouldn't happen from happening. That's something that always scared me.”

“Death is natural. Children dying is natural. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world.”
