John  Green
“We never really talked much or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe even more intimate than eye contact anyway. I mean, anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

John  Green
“What I love about science is that as you learn, you don't really get answers. You just get better questions.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

Michael Pollan
“Yes, forgetting can be a curse, especially as we age. But forgetting is also one of the more important things healthy brains do, almost as important as remembering. Think how quickly the sheer volume and multiplicity of sensory information we receive every waking minute would overwhelm our consciousness if we couldn’t quickly forget a great deal more of it than we remember.”
Michael Pollan, The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World

John  Green
“The thing about a spiral is, if you follow it inward, it never actually ends. It just keeps tightening, infinitely.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

John  Green
“It’s a weird phrase in English, in love, like it’s a sea you drown in or a town you live in. You don’t get to be in anything else—in friendship or in anger or in hope. All you can be in is love.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down
