Quotes
***
Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here you can't see the rust or cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You see how fake it is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean look at it, Q: look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking 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.
--Paper Towns, John Green

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
--Douglas Adams
***
Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
--Robert F. Bennett
