John Green
I said nothing—I hadn’t known Marya, and anyway, “listening quietly” was my general social strategy
John Green
Tiny Cooper is not the world's gayest person, and he is not the world's largest person, but I believe he may be the world's largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world's gayest person who is really, really large.
John Green
You are a side effect, Van Houten continued, of an evolutionary process that cares little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation.
John Green
What matters to you defines your mattering.
