The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
(via arrogant-toerag)
“All through my life I’ve had this strange unaccountable feeling that something was going on in the world, something big, even sinister, and no one would tell me what it was.”
“No, that’s just perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the Universe has that.”
— Douglas Adams, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” (via twodayslaterthatgirltumbled)
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” — Douglas Adams (via designatedbusdriver)

“You can’t just make me different, and then leave. Because I was fine before.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“I used to fear the small things
like forgetting to take my vitamins,
sitting in the bath for so long I would shrivel up
and disappear or losing a tooth down the drain.
I still plug the sink when I’m brushing my teeth
but now the world is much larger
and forces words onto your tongue you do not understand
like bills and insurance, sickness and death.
I’ve learned there are much bigger things to fear
than wrinkles on your fingers.
I’ve been told that love is the biggest thing to fear,
but I’ve never been afraid of falling. What I am afraid of
is that one day my heart is going to stand up and walk away
without a note taped to kitchen counter saying,
“I’ll be home soon, don’t wait up.”
— Kelsey Danielle, “Absence” (via pigmenting)

“There’s nothing wrong with occasionally staring out the window and thinking nonsense, as long as the nonsense is yours.” — Lemony Snicket, Who Could That Be At This Hour? (via sick-fiction)
