“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

oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will
come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the
sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with
you.”
