Hopeless Quote by John Green
““We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably hopeless. We think we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born and we cannot die. Like energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. The 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.””
