John Green -
"I can’t talk about our love story, so I will talk about math. I am not a mathematician, but I know this: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than others infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I’m likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m thankful."

Go to Rosianna’s blog now to see a beautiful (and mostly spoiler free) tribute to Alaska on what has come to be known as Alaska Young Day.
Hard to believe this is the eighth January 10th since Looking for Alaska was first published. I am so grateful to all who’ve read it and responded to it with such thoughtfulness and generosity.
*sniffle* Alaska…

"Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a Sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile."

"You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail."

"It always shocked me when I realised that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things."

This is perfection.
I got saved by looking for alaska too. The moment that I realized that I’m not irreparably broken is when I started hoping that I can heal again. So thank you, John Green.
"With every revelation some people respond by making the world better and some respond by making it worse. Which is true of religious revelations and secular ones alike. The revelation isn’t the problem. We are."
