“I am only alone when I think I am”
― Kristen Radtke, Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness

“English, which can express the thoughts of Hamlet and the tragedy of Lear, has no words for the shiver and the headache. . . . The merest schoolgirl, when she falls in love, has Shakespeare or Keats to speak her mind for her; but let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry.’ And we’re such language-based creatures that to some extent we cannot know what we cannot name. And so we assume it isn’t real. We refer to it with catch-all terms, like crazy”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“if half the cells inside of you are not you, doesn’t that challenge the whole notion of me as a singular pronoun, let alone as the author of my fate”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“If taking a pill makes you different, like, if it changes the way-down you . . . that’s just a screwed-up idea, you know? Who’s deciding what me means—me or the employees of the factory that makes Lexapro?”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down
