“Meriwether Lewis's last words were, 'I am not a coward, but I am so strong. So hard to die.' I don't doubt that it is, but it cannot be much harder than being left behind.”

“How do you just stop being terrified of getting left behind and ending up by yourself forever and not meaning anything to the world?”

“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.”

“It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.”

“But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail”

“Last words are always harder to remember when no one knows that someone's about to die.”
