Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
― John Green

“Nice comes from the Latin word for “stupid”,’ said Griffin. ‘We do not want to be nice.”

“When I finally lie down, I find sleep elusive. The same thoughts that trouble me during the day are only compounded by the stillness of night.”
