I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open.” The crowd cheers.”

    John Keats
    “I have been astonished that men could die martyrs
    for their religion--
    I have shuddered at it,
    I shudder no more.
    I could be martyred for my religion.
    Love is my religion
    and I could die for that.
    I could die for you.
    My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.”
    ― John Keats

    George Bernard Shaw
    “My religious convictions and scientific views cannot at present be more specifically defined than as those of a believer in creative evolution. I desire that no public monument or work of art or inscription or sermon or ritual service commemorating me shall suggest that I accepted the tenets peculiar to any established church or denomination nor take the form of a cross or any other instrument of torture or symbol of blood sacrifice.

    [From the will of GBS]”

    John Green
    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
