Quote by John Green

“What else? She is so beautiful. You don't get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without even being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”

“Elke dag herhaal ik het wonder, wat zeg ik, de triomf, van het moment waarop onze soort het schrift uitvond. Lezen en schrijven, we doen het op den duur zo gedachteloos. Altijd weer het vingervlugge mirakel van ons geheugen dat zich woord voor woord; lettergreep na lettergreep, de totaal willekeurige maar o zo zegenrijke band herinnert tussen een letter en een klank, en wat die verbintenis betekent. Telkens weer die schepping van zin uit een ontstellende ruis die zonder het oor van de ander zonder boodschap zou blijven… En dat mirakel , die dagdagelijkse ontploffing in betekenis, knettert en vonkt terug in de tijd, naar de havens van de Feniciërs, naar de koningen van Sumer, naar de glazuren tegels van de toren van Babel, verspreid in het zand.”

“Every second of every day we are entering a new universe. And we spend so much time wishing our lives were different, comparing ourselves to other people and to other versions of ourselves, when really most lives contain degrees of good and degrees of bad. [...] There are patterns of life... Rhythms. It is so easy, while trapped in just the one life, to imagine that times of sadness or tragedy or failure or fear are a result of the particular existence. That it is a by-product of living a certain way, rather than simply living. I mean, it would have made things a lot easier if we understood there was no way of living that can immunise you against sadness. And that sadness is intrinsically part of the fabric of happiness. You can't have one without the other. Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you're in.”

“In one of the most personal of all the writings of Francis we possess, this one from 1226, Francis writes a note of encouragement to his closest male friend, Leo... "I am speaking to you, now, as a mother would, because all of the words we passed between us on the road together I am summarizing in this message and bit of advice. If you ever feel the need to for my counsel, I suggest that you turn to this letter. "My advice is this : In whatever way you feel called to serve the Lord, and to make him happy, to follow his footprint and his poverty, do that, and do that with my blessing and with the blessing of the Lord God. "If you ever want to come and see me, Leo, for the sake of your soul or for any other reason, come, by all means, come back to me.”
