But that's the difference between people and stars. A star's light still shines even if there's no one to see it, but without someone to remember Jesse, his light will disappear.

Don't get so focused on where you're going that you forget the people you're travelling with. There's no point reaching a destination if you arrive alone.

Because you can only die once but you can suffer forever.

That's the problem with memories: you can visit them, but you can't live in them.

We're not words, Henry, we're people.Words are how others define us, but we can define ourselves any way we choose.

Dreams are hopeful because they exist as pure possibility. Unlike memories, which are fossils, long dead and buried deep.

We remember the past, live in the present, and write the future.

I saw the world from the stars' point of view, and it looked unbearably lonely.

Knowing leads to caring.

Only someone who cares could fake not caring so well.

Making out with Marcus had always felt like a race to the finish line, but with Diego I felt like I'd already won.

We are merely pieces of a grander design, even more insignificant than I imagined. When the earth ceases to be, all those stars will shine on. Our deaths will mean nothing to them.

I felt as if each person within visual range were slowly draining the life from me. We were all connected, and the more them there were, the more I wanted to crawl under a table and cry.

I held on to the hope that one day I would grow up and have all the answers, just like my parents. As I look over at Arnold and then at Father Mike, I realize that adults are just as fucked as the rest of us. No one really grows up. No one unravels all of life's many mysteries. They just grow older and become better liars.

Popularity is teenage heroin.

I was diamond on the outside, and I would not break.Inside, though, I was already broken.

If a kid looks like he doesn't give a shit, it's not because he doesn't believe in himself anymore; it's because no one else believes in him.

How can you make an informed decision about whether to save the world if you never leave your tiny part of it?
