    Me: "Food."
    Gus: "Yes, precisely. It tastes like food, excellently prepared. But it does not taste, how do I put this delicately...?"

    'Yes?'
    'You staked a vampire with a number two pencil.'

    'Have I told you lately how freaking awesome you are?'

    'Find another pencil and I’ll pin this one down, too,' Michael said.
    'You know how weird that sounds, right?' Shane said. 'Right, never mind. Number two pencil, coming up. Why do I feel like we’re taking a test?”

    “Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a Sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    “It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.'
    'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said.
    'It can be sort of blinding,' he said.
    'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said.
    'Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?'
    'You cannot.'
    'It is my burden, this beautiful face.'
    'Not to mention your body.'
    'Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.”

    “Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement, There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for plannning. No time for a future. But then the life spans started getting longer, and people started having more and more future. And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future--you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.”
    John Green, Paper Towns

    More than anything,' Rob persisted. 'You'd crawl on your belly over broken glass for her. Easy.'
    Yes, damn you,' Gabriel said. 'Happy now?”

    “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal”

    “That man is such a damn turd monkey."

    "Yup. You're going to be Dimitri's partner."

    "Guarding partner," Dimitri clarified unnecessarily, like maybe he too had been thinking of other kinds of partners.”
    Richelle Mead, Vampire Academy
