Empty space Quote by John Green
““I dont think you can ever fill the empty space with the thing you lost...I don't think your missing pieces ever fit inside you again once they go missing. Like Katherine. That's what I realized: if I did get her back somehow, she wouldn't fill the hole that losing her created.””
