It was right then, between when I asked about the labyrinth and when she answered me, that I realized the importance of curves, of the thousand places where girls’ bodies ease from one place to another, from arc to the foot to ankle to calf, from calf to hip to wait to breast to neck to ski-slope nose to forehead to shoulder to the concave arch of the back to the butt to the etc. I’d noticed curves before, of course, but I had never quite apprehended their significance.

So got the unsourced post taken down, and now I’m putting all of them, including WGWG, into one post as a master post. To my followers I swear this is the last time I’ll shove these drawings in your face, I’m just trying to make it easier for people who wanted them all in a group. Hopefully having them all together will keep people from reposting it without a source again.
Anyway, all of the John Green books, plus Will Grayson Will Grayson. c:

It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. I wanted to be the last one she loved. And I knew, I wasn’t.
“I Go to Seek a Great Perhaps” - Francois Rabelais
These were the last words spoken by the great French Renaissance writer. They were mentioned in John Green’s Looking for Alaska.
Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
