More quotes by John Green
Like everyone, I'm saddened and horrified by this. All I'll say is that I'm personally trying to pay more attention to the victims than to their murderer. I certainly will not be mentioning the murderer. I don't think he warrants our attention-particularly since he so clearly wanted it.
John Green
This was what I liked most about my friends: just sitting around & telling stories.
John Green
Bro, it's dark. You can't go to a strange building with a mysterious address in the dark. Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?
John Green
Sometimes the way you think about someone isn't the way they actually are.
John Green
Love is just a shout in the void.
John Green
Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.
John Green
There's your labyrinth of suffering. We are all going. Find your way out of that maze.
John Green
My regret was immediate and permanent and useless.
John Green
Something invisible snapped inside her.
John Green
Even with everything broken and decided inside her she couldn't quite allow herself to disappear for good.

All salvation is temporary, Augustus shot back. I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.
John Green
I needed, I decided, to really know her, because I needed more to remember. Before I could begin the shameful process of forgetting the how and the why of her living and dying, I needed to learn it: How. Why. When. Where. What.
John Green
I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time.
John Green
Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.
John Green
I do not say goodbye. I believe that's one of the bullshitiest words ever invented. It's not like you're given the choice to say bad-bye, or awful-bye, or couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye. Everytime you leave, it's supposed to be a good one.
John Green
Maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.
John Green
And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you it's something that happens with you.
John Green
I choose the labyrinth.
John Green
It's nice to have people who will feel guilty for you.
