But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail

John Green

When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are.

Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They 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.
