Both are quotes from my favorite YA novel "The Fault in Our Stars" by local author, John Green.

The homescreen is interesting. I don't know the novel. Is there any meaning with "That's not a pipe" although this is a pipe?

It is a PICTURE of a pipe. Therefore, not a pipe. ;) and I totally recommend the book, along with several boxes of tissue.

Here is the excerpt of the book that explains it. &ldquo;The shirt was a screen print of a famous Surrealist artwork by René Magritte in which he drew a pipe and then beneath it wrote in cursive Ceci n&rsquo;est pas une pipe. (&ldquo;This is not a pipe.&rdquo;) &ldquo;I just don&rsquo;t get that shirt,&rdquo; Mom said. &ldquo;Peter Van Houten will get it, trust me. There are like seven thousand Magritte references in An Imperial Affliction.&rdquo; &ldquo;But it is a pipe.&rdquo; &ldquo;No, it&rsquo;s not,&rdquo; I said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a drawing of a pipe. Get it? All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. It&rsquo;s very clever.&rdquo;

Excerpt From: Green, John. &ldquo;The Fault in Our Stars.&rdquo; Dutton Juvenile, 2012-01-09T17:00:00+00:00. iBooks. This material may be protected by copyright.

The first time I read the book, it was very surreal for me because it's set in Indianapolis, Indiana where I'm originally from. It was weird/awesome recognizing basically every street or place mentioned.

I like the excerpt. The part about Magritte sounds somewhat familiar.
Found it, purchased it and already read the first few pages. It looks like a page-turner.
Thank you!

Yesterday (it's already past midnight here) I also changed my iPad mini's screens (both the same picture, mine as well):

I love black and white. It is meaningful.

Edit: Also if your wondering how I got rid of some stock apps (Game center, maps, contacts, facetime, and messages) I got rid of them using a glitch.
