Quote by John Green

“—Cuando sales con alguien, tienes el camino marcado. Te besas, hablas, le dices te quiero, te sientas en una hamaca y cortas. Puedes trazar los puntos en un gráfico. Y en el camino vas revisándolos con él. '¿Puedo hacer esto? Si digo esto, ¿me lo dirás también tú?' »Pero con los amigos no pasa lo mismo. Tener una relación es algo que eliges. Ser amigo de alguien es algo que eres. —Yo te elegiría —le digo—. A la mierda. Te elijo. Quiero que dentro de veinte años vengas a mi casa con tu pareja y tus hijos adoptados, y quiero que nuestros putos hijos salgan juntos, y quiero beber vino y charlar de Oriente Medio o hacer lo que nos dé la gana hacer cuando seamos viejos. Llevamos demasiado tiempo siendo amigos para elegir, pero si pudiéramos elegir, te elegiría a ti.”

You don't necessarily even have to be afraid of punishment after death; purgatory, hell, and heaven are things that a lot of people can't accept, but still a religion, it doesn't matter which, keeps a person on the right path. It isn't the fear of God but the upholding of one's own honor and conscience. How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the while day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then, without realizing it you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that: "A quiet conscience mades one strong!”

“Pero secretamente añadí que consideraba a Félix como algo mío, el hermano que vivió el lado difícil de la vida que a mí no me tocó, el amante platónico que todas las noches se tendía junto a mí en la cama convertible y me contaba extraordinarias películas que jamás se filmaron o más bien superpelículas ideales fabricadas de trozos que él amaba particularmente, un rostro, un gesto, una situación, un lugar arrebatados a la muerte por la cámara”
