“I wanted to tell her that I was getting better, because that was supposed to be the narrative of illness: It was a hurdle you jumped over, or a battle you won. Illness is a story told in the past tense.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“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

“Our hearts were broken in the same places. That's something like love, but maybe not quite the thing itself.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“Cînd vorbeşti despre lucrurile care te apasă, te surpă, te macină atît
de tare încît nu mai poţi simţi şi iubire pentru ele, lucrurile care te macină cu
atîta ardoare încît dragostea poate deveni - uneori - sclavie, atunci - n-ai ce
face: scrîşneşti din dinţii încleştaţi ai zîmbetului. Iar zîmbetul acesta şui din
colţul gurii ţi se prelinge la-nceput cleios ca saliva şi, pînă la urmă, îţi cade ca
o lacrimă luminoasă de la colţul ochiului.”
― Cristian Popescu, Arta Popescu
