141 " ..., but the great thing about this life of ours is that you can be someone different to everybody. "
― Jennifer Niven , All the Bright Places
142 " Conozco lo suficiente bien la vida como para saber que no puedes contar con que las cosas permanezcan intactas e inmóviles, por mucho que te gustaría que así fuera. No puedes evitar que la gente muera. No puedes evitar que se marchen. Ni si quiera uno mismo puede evitar marcharse. Me conozco lo suficientemente bien como para saber que nadie puede mantenerme despierto o impedirme dormir. Eso también lo llevo dentro. Pero tía, esta chica me gusta. "
143 " But all the scary stuff doesn't really compare to getting lost in your own mind. "
― Jennifer Niven , Breathless
144 " This whole concept is so antiquated. As if all that matters is penis-plus-vagina sex. Something like twenty percent of Americans identify as something other than completely straight, so why are we still so focused on a woman's first time with a man? And why is a girl's virginity such a big deal anyway? People don't get excited about a straight guy having sex. It's all high fives and 'Now you're a man.' They don't sit around wringing their hands and searching the internet for replacement parts. "
145 " E’ come se dentro me ci fosse una creatura incazzata che scalpita per uscire. Sono anni che mi cresce dentro e ormai occupa tutto lo spazio, mi preme sui polmoni, sul petto, sulla gola. Io faccio di tutto per ricacciarla indietro. Non voglio farla uscire. Non posso farla uscire”."Raccontami di un giorno perfetto "

146 " Hanya karena mereka sudah mati, mereka tak perlu mati. Begitu juga kita. "
147 " The problem with people is that they forget that, most of the time, it's the small things that count. "
148 " Writing was what I did best, better than being a daughter or girlfriend or sister. Writing was me. "
149 " — Tem certeza? É o ponto mais alto de Indiana.— Tenho certeza. É agora ou nunca, mas preciso saber se você vem comigo. "
150 " Nie pamięta się dni, pamięta się chwile. "
151 " Before I die I want to count for something. Be the person I'm meant to be and have that be enough. Know what it's like to have a best friend. Matter. "
152 " The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places. "
153 " You have been in every way all that anyone could be.… If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. "
154 " sometimes there’s beauty in the tough words—it’s all in how you read them. "
155 " I learned that there is good in this world, if you look hard enough for it. I learned that not everyone is disappointing, including me, and that a 1,257-foot bump in the ground can feel higher than a bell tower if you’re standing next to the right person. "
156 " We are all alone, trapped in these bodies and our own minds, and whatever company we have in this life is only fleeting and superficial. "
157 " I know life well enough to know you can’t count on things staying around or standing still, no matter how much you want them to. You can’t stop people from dying. You can’t stop them from going away. You can’t stop yourself from going away either. I know myself well enough to know that no one else can keep you awake or keep you from sleeping. "
158 " She is oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The same elements that are inside the rest of us, but I can’t help thinking she’s more than that and she’s got other elements going on that no one’s ever heard of, ones that make her stand apart from everybody else. I feel this brief panic as I think, What would happen if one of those elements malfunctioned or just stopped working altogether? I make myself push this aside and concentrate on the feel of her skin until I no longer see molecules but Violet. "
159 " No more winter at all. Finch, you brought me spring. "
160 " I am on the highest branch.We are written in paint.I believe in signs.The glow of Ultraviolet.A lake. A prayer. It's so lovely to be lovely in Private. "
