I actually give LOTS of fucks. Tons of them. I’m a prostitute of feelings.

‘Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them,’ I said.
Isaac shot me a look. ‘Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.’
John Green; The Fault in our Stars -
‘All salvation is temporary,’ Augustus shot back. ‘I bought them a minute. Maybe that’s the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one’s gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that’s not nothing.’
John Green; The Fault in our Stars -
Yeah, hurdlers. I don’t know why. I started thinking about them running their hurdle races, and jumping over these totally arbitrary objects that had been set in their path. And I wondered if hurdlers ever though, you know, ‘This would go faster if we just got rid of the hurdles.’
John Green; The Fault in our Stars -
So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.

Listening to good music makes me think i could never make good music. Reading good comics makes me think i could probably make good comics.
graphic novelist Bryan Lee O’Malley -
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.
Ernest Hemingway on F. Scott Fitzgerald; A Moveable Feast -
We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.

We’re all looking out of the corner of our eyes
For where to go next
Like “this party sucks, there must be someplace better”
The ghosts, they know we’re thinking like chumps. they know it’s not important who we go home with tonight
Partly cause they can’t generate friction, so they can’t have sex
But mostly because party is right here
And it’s the best party everWatsky; “Ghost Party” -
The scientists proved we’re all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite them and neither did I
But they’re here, drink up, we’re all gonna dieWatsky; “Ghost Party”
