― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I read and I read; and I was like a medieval king, I had fallen in love with the picture long before I saw the reality.”

“Crotch biting menace:I have my mouth in close proximity to your genitals.Oh thou man who talks to my mistress over coffee.Do not irk or trifle with me! I possess but one tooth, oh, yes, for the rest were buried long ago in the flesh of sinners.Behold my jaws, upper and lower in righteous, symmetrical poverty.Move not, man of clocks, and heed my mistress, for she cherishes me, even in my foul old age.”
― Nick Harkaway, Angelmaker
