"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
--Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves."
("The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.")
--William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar. I.ii
"When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail."
--John Green, Looking for Alaska
"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
--G.K. Chesterton
"What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?"
--John Green, An Abundance of Katherines
