song hate rainbow
You may choose your song, but know this: Tiny. Cooper. Hates. Over. The. Rainbow.
stupid college years
Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
powerful tongue should
The human tongue is like wasabi: it's very powerful, and should be used sparingly.
independent careers bookstores
I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for independent bookstores.
book reader
Books belong to their readers.
moving-on break-up i-miss-you
You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.
smart nice hot
Not that smart. Not that hot. Not that nice. Not that funny. That's me: I'm not that.
matter things-that-matter feels
I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you.
art struggle mean
Given the final futility of our struggle, is the fleeting jolt of meaning that art gives us valuable? Or is the only value in passing the time as comfortable as possible? What should a story seek to emulate, Augustus? A ringing alarm? A call to arms? A morphine drip? Of course, like all interrogation of the universe, this line of inquiry inevitably reduces us to asking what it means to be human and whether—to borrow a phrase from the angst-encumbered sixteeen-year-olds you no doubt revile—there is a point to it all.
believe labyrinth born
I was born into Bolívar's labyrinth, and so I must believe in the hope of Rabelais' Great Perhaps.
hipster crazy broken
The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.
inspirational life hipster
It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.
simple two care
Also, I feel that crying is almost--like, aside from deaths of relatives or whatever-- totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1.Don't care too much. 2. Shut up. Everything unfortunate that has ever happened to me has stemmed from failure to follow one of the rules.
life hurt i-hate-you
Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters.
