“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are
invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they
don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless,
because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are
invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die.
Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and
manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get
scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than
the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it
cannot fail.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska
