“There’s an unshakable conviction within every adolescent– including the adolescent who lurks inside every adult– that love, your particular love, is more important than anything else. Grownups, tired and jaded and mind-controlled beings that they are, will try to tell you otherwise, that it’s not the end of the world, but don’t trust them. They’re just jealous. They only wish they could still remember what the end of the world felt like.”
-Lev Grossman
