    Cassandra Clare
    “Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name," Will said. "You can have mine."
    Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. "Your name?"
    Will took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind. "Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

    John Green
    “When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. 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. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But 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

    Stephen Chbosky
    “Creo que si alguna vez tengo hijos y están disgustados, no les diré que la gente se muere de hambre en China ni nada parecido porque no cambiaría el hecho de que estén disgustados. E incluso si otra persona lo tiene mucho peor, eso realmente no cambia el hecho de que tú tienes lo que tienes. Bueno y malo. Como lo que mi hermana dijo cuando yo llevaba ya una temporada en el hospital. Dijo que estaba muy preocupada por ir a la universidad, y en comparación con lo que yo estaba pasando, se sentía muy tonta. Pero no sé por qué se iba a sentir tonta. Yo también estaría preocupado. Y en serio, no creo que yo lo tenga mejor ni peor que ella. No sé. Es diferente. Quizá sea bueno poner las cosas en perspectiva, pero, a veces, creo que la única perspectiva es estar allí de verdad. Como dijo Sam. Porque está bien sentir cosas. Y ser tú mismo al respecto.”
    Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    “Colin,
    I hate to fulfill the Theorem, but I don't think we should be involved romantically.
    The problem is that I secretly in love with Hassan.
    I can't help myself. I hold your bony shoulder blades in my hands and think of his fleshy back.
    I kiss your stomach and I think of his awe-inspiring gut. I like you,
    Colin, I really do. But-I'm sorry. It's just not going to work.
    I hope we can still be friends.
    Sincerely,
    Lindsey Lee Wells
    P.S. Just kidding.”

    John Green
    “Llegará un día en que todos nosotros estaremos muertos dije. Todos nosotros. Llegará un día en que no quedará un ser humano que recuerde que alguna vez existió alguien o que alguna vez nuestra especie hizo algo. No quedará nadie que recuerde a Aristóteles o a Cleopatra, por no hablar de vosotros. Todo lo que hemos hecho, construido, escrito, pensado y descubierto será olvidado, y todo esto —continué, señalando a mi alrededor— habrá existido para nada. Quizá ese día llegue pronto o quizá tarde millones de años, pero, aunque sobrevivamos al desmoronamiento del sol, no sobreviviremos para siempre. Hubo tiempo antes de que los organismos tuvieran conciencia de sí mismos, y habrá tiempo después. Y si te preocupa que sea inevitable que el hombre caiga en el olvido, te aconsejo que ni lo pienses. Dios sabe que es lo que hace todo el mundo.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
    Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
    Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
    "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries."
    Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand."
    "I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
    "And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam t-shirt.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse
