“Can a better kind of fiction save the world? There’s always some tiny hope (strange things do happen), but the answer is almost certainly no, it can’t. There is some reasonable chance, however, that it could save your soul. If you’re unhappy about the hatred that’s been unleashed in your heart, you might try imagining what it’s like to be the person who hates you; you might consider the possibility that you are, in fact, the Evil One yourself.”
― Jonathan Franzen, Farther Away

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I would have killed myself years ago if it weren't for the fact that I’m pretty sure death is the only thing more terrible than life.”
― Alex Sargeant, Sci-Fidelity

“There are no easy answers, there's only living through the questions.”
― Elizabeth George, Missing Joseph
