- Paper Towns
All of those paper people, living in their paper houses, burning the future so they can stay warm. All the paper kids drinking the paper beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years. And I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.

- Looking for Alaska
If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.
John Green
- Looking For Alaska
Imagining the future is kind of nostalgic. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it would be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use that future to escape the present.
Jim Rohn
- Change.
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
