day1: favorite book/series; the fault in our stars by john green
“There will come a time, when all of us are dead, all of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed, or that our species ever did anything. There won’t be anyone left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten, and all of this, will have been for nothing. Maybe that time is coming soon or maybe it’s millions of years away but even if we survive the collapse of our sun we will not survive the collapse of the universe. There was time before organism’s experienced consciousness and there will be time after. If the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”
I like teenagers. They are in the area of conflict between the person that they are, the one they want to be and the one they might be. I want to sit down at the table with them when they discuss true love, great loss, the big philosophical questions for the first time. And I want to be at least a small voice in their heads, when they experience these things for the first time.
