Lauren Oliver:
“That's the flip side of freedom; When you're completely free, you're also completely on your own.”
“I wonder if this is how people always get close: they heal each other's wounds; they repair the broken skin.”
“If you’re smart, you care. And if you care, you love.”
“That's the thing: We didn't really care. A world without love is also a world without stakes.”
“This is what hatred is. It will feed you and at the same time turn you to rot.”
This is what I want. This is the only thing I've ever wanted. Everything else—every single second of every single day that has come before this very moment, this kiss—has meant nothing.”
“When you're young, you just want to be older, and then later you wish you could go back to being a kid.”
John Green:
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.” “Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”
“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”
“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”
“Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”
“Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.”
“The marks humans leave are too often scars.”
“I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?”
“The world is not a wish-granting factory.”
Ally Condie:“Why are some things easier to write than say?”
“In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.”
“Once you want something, everything changes.”
“It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.”
“Is falling in love with someone's story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?”
“Every minute you spend with someone gives them a part of your life and takes part of theirs.”
