    John Green
    “because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it.

Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”

    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”

    “Schipbreuk
    Ik wilde me inschepen voor
    een land waar ik nog niet bestond

    onderweg ben ik verdronken

    alleen om niet al te weerloos
    aan te spoelen later
    lieg ik een vlot
    lieg ik reddingsboei
    lieg ik mijn hoofd boven water.”
    Ellen Warmond
