“
You can take a road that gets you to the stars, I can take a road that will see me through.
Nick Drake
“
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
W.H. Auden
“
We all live in a house of fire. No fire department to call, no way out. Just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
Tennessee Williams
“
To love is to destroy.
Cassandra Clare
“
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
J.M. Barrie
“
I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.
John Green

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
T.S. Eliot
“
Time takes it all. Whether you want it to or not. Time takes it away, time bears it away, and in the end, there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness. And sometimes we lose them there again.
Stephen King
“
What’s the point of trying to fix a world we’re in so briefly? Where’s the meaning in all that work if it’s just going to disappear?
Isaac Marion
“
Spoonfeeding me yet another sip
From life’s cup.
I don’t want it, won’t take any more of it,
Let me throw up.
Rilke
“
You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly above them. You can try to pin me down with a hundred thousand arms, but I will find a way to resist. And there are many of us out there, more than you think. People who refuse to stop believing. People who refuse to come to earth. People who love in a world without walls, people who love into hate, into refusal, against hope, and without fear.
I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.
Lauren Oliver
