Looking For Alaska by John Green

 

—I'm not going to be one of those people who sits aroundtalking about what they're gonna do. i'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.

—You spend your whole life stuck in the labirinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imaginig that future keeps you going, but you never do it.You just use the future to escape the present.
