Such is life. We grow up. Planets like Tiny get new moons. Moons like me get new planets Picture Quote #1

At least for tonight. In sickness and in health. In good times and in bad. For richer, for poorer. ‘Till dawn do us part Picture Quote #1

The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory. The living, thank heaven, retain the ability to surprise and to disappoint. - Van Houten Picture Quote #1

Home is Where the Heart Is, Good Friends Are Hard to Find and Impossible to Forget. True Love is Born from Hard Times Picture Quote #1

You don’t want romantic advice from me, you want romantic advice from Edward Cullen. I completely understand but he is completely unavailable right now and I’ll tell you why. He doesn’t exist Picture Quote #1

In general-like not just in fiction but in life-it doesn’t work out well when someone imagines someone else as a manic pixie dream girl or an Edward Cullen or anything other than a full, complex human being. That said, while I’ve tried to reflect that in my books, I don’t think I’ve always succeeded, because I am always running up against my own insufficiencies and biases etc Picture Quote #1

[This] is very important to remember when reading or writing or talking or whatever: You are never, ever choosing whether to use symbols. You are choosing which symbols to use Picture Quote #1

Writing fiction is an inherently political activity because people-even imaginary ones-do not live in vacuums... From Twilight to Romeo and Juliet to The Little Mermaid, no work of the imagination is truly apolitical, because the world and our hopes for it are always part of our stories Picture Quote #1

One of the pitfalls about writing about illness is that it is very easy to imagine people with cancer as either these wise-beyond-their-years creatures or these sad-eyed tragic people. And the truth is, people living with cancer are very much like people who are not living with cancer. They’re every bit as funny and complex and diverse as anyone else Picture Quote #1

I liked Augustus Waters. I really, really really liked him. I liked the way his story ended with someone else. I liked his voice. I liked that he took existentially-fraught free throws Picture Quote #1

He lit a cigarette and handed it to me. I inhaled. Coughed. Wheezed. Gasped for breath. Coughed again. Considered vomiting. Grabbed the swinging bench, head spinning, and threw the cigarette to the ground and stomped on it, convinced my Great Perhaps did not involve cigarettes Picture Quote #1

I hate the idea that, when it comes to books and learning, hard is often seen as the opposite of fun. It’s strange to me that we should be so quick to give up on a book or a math problem when we are so willing to grapple, for centuries if necessary, with a single level of Angry Birds Picture Quote #1

But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman Picture Quote #1

This is what I love about novels - both reading them and writing them. They jump into the abyss to be with you where you are Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure if I’m depressed. I mean, I’m not exactly sad. But I’m not exactly happy either. I can laugh and joke and smile during the day, But sometimes when I’m alone at night I forget how to feel Picture Quote #1

My responsibility is to try to tell true stories. To me a true story is always hopeful, but never simply, uncomplicatedly happy Picture Quote #1
