Cornelia Funke
"We don't tend to write about disease in fiction - not just teen novels but all American novels - because it doesn't fit in with our idea of the heroic romantic epic. There is room only for sacrifice, heroism, war, politics and family struggle."
John Green
"Everything happens for a reason, we just don't get the reason with the thing."
