"...we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be. ... We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. ... that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail." - john green, looking for alaska

"Smile, like you've got nothing to prove, no matter what you might do, there's always someone out there cooler than you. I know it's hard to believe, but there are people you meet – they're into something that is too big to be expressed through their clothes. And they'll put up with all the poses you throw, and you won't even know. ... Now that I've got the disease, in a way I'm relieved, 'cause I don't have to stress about it like you do. I might just get up and dance or buy some acid-washed pants. When you don't care then you've got nothing to lose. And I won't hesitate, 'cause every moment life is slipping away. It's ok. Make me feel tiny if it makes you feel tall, but there's always someone cooler than you." - ben folds, "there's always someone cooler than you"
