    “When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.”

    John Green
    “You know your problem, Quentin? You keep expecting people not to be themselves. I mean, I could hate you for being massively unpunctual and for never being interested in anything other than Margo Roth Spiegelman, and for, like, never asking me about how it's going with my girlfriend - but I don't give a shit, man, because you're you. My parents have a shit ton of black Santas, but that's okay. They're them. I'm too obsessed with a reference website to answer my phone sometimes when my friends call, or my girlfriend. That's okay, too. That's me. You like me anyway. And I like you. You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.”
    John Green, Paper Towns

    “Isn't it also that on some fundamental level we find it difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same way that we are? We idealize them as gods or dismiss them as animals.”

    “HEARTWORK

    Each day is born with a sunrise
    and ends in a sunset, the same way we
    open our eyes to see the light,
    and close them to hear the dark.
    You have no control over
    how your story begins or ends.
    But by now, you should know that
    all things have an ending.
    Every spark returns to darkness.
    Every sound returns to silence.
    And every flower returns to sleep
    with the earth.
    The journey of the sun
    and moon is predictable.
    But yours,
    is your ultimate
    ART.”
    Suzy Kassem

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “One day,' you said, 'I watched the sunset forty-three times!'

    And a little later you added:
    'You know, when one is that sad, one can get to love the sunset.'

    'Were you that sad, then, on the day of the forty-three sunset?'

    But the prince made no answer.”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

    L.M. Montgomery
    “They captured in their ramble all the mysteries and magics of a March evening. Very still and mild it was, wrapped in a great, white, brooding silence -- a silence which was yet threaded through with many little silvery sounds which you could hear if you hearkened as much with your soul as your ears. The girls wandered down a long pineland aisle that seemed to lead right out into the heart of a deep-red, overflowing winter sunset.”
    L.M. Montgomery
