"I met Charlie McDonnell when he was, to use the language of his native land, ‘but a young lad’. But even back then, I remember thinking: this kid - aside from being outrageously handsome - is kind of a genius. Ever since, Charlie has been proving me right, but never more than on his new album “This Is Me”…it’s the only thing in my iTunes. I have “Bread” on repeat and I’ve listened to it…six hundred and twenty-one times. This raises the alarming possibility that I might technically be a fangirl."
— John Green (x)

"Separated Lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars—all the beauties of creation. And why should they not? All the works of God are designed to serve love, and love has the power to charge all nature with its messages."
— Les Misérables, Victor Hugo (via best-book-quotes)
