โI thought we were in a church basement, but we are literally in the heart of Jesus.โ โSomeone should tell Jesus,โ I said. โI mean, it's gotta be dangerous, storing children with cancer in your heart.โ โI would tell Him myself.โ Augustus said, โbut unfortunately I am literally stuck inside of His heart, so He won't be able to hear me.โ

John GreenWe are all going, I thought, and it applies to turtles and turtlenecks, Alaska the girl and Alaska the place, because nothing can last, not even the earth itself.

When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.
