    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. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”

    “Disquite Sonnet
    I wish that I could find the words to tell
    You were it hurts; nothing breaking my skin
    Slices whispering in my brain like hell
    Leaking suggestions of a morose grin
    Cannot collect my thoughts long enough to
    Share them in an understandable way
    So I lock my lips firmly and walk through
    Life, searching for the perfect words to say
    Trapped in my head, I seek to be let out
    Grasping connections with those who might know
    What it feels like, alone in a crowd, doubt
    Filling my body with reasons to go
    Face to face, I might not find the right phrase
    But I hope someone hears me anyway”

    “Her underwear, her jeans, the comforter, my corduroys and my boxers between us, I thought. Five layers, and yet I felt it, the nervous warmth of touching – a pale reflection of the fireworks of one mouth on another, but a reflection nonetheless. And in the almostness of the moment, I cared at least enough. I wasn’t sure whether I liked her, and doubted whether I could trust her, but I cared at least enough to try to find out. Her on my bed, wide green eyes staring down at me. The enduring mystery of her sly, almost smirking, smile. Five layers between us.”
    John Green

    “A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

    Dean Koontz
    “She was fascinated with words. To her, words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create powerful spells.”
    Dean Koontz, Lightning
