Quote by 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. 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 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.
Summary
This quote reflects a teenager's perspective on their own invincibility. The author suggests that adults underestimate the resiliency of teenagers and their ability to bounce back from difficult situations. The author emphasizes that while adults may fear losing and failing, teenagers believe they are invincible because nothing can truly break them. They view themselves as eternal energy that can transform and adapt to any situation, reminding adults to embrace the enduring essence within themselves as well.
