More quotes by John Green
Boys do not have the monopoly in Staring Business, after all.
John Green
I find it really offensive when people say that the emotional experiences of teenagers are less real or less important than those of adults. I am an adult, and I used to be a teenager, and so I can tell you with some authority that my feelings then were as real as my feelings are now.
John Green
But you know what they say about Gutshot: the population never goes up and never goes down, because every time a woman gets pregnant, a man leaves town.
John Green
The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before.
John Green
There's not even real *popularity* at my school. That, Coli said emphatically, is a sentence that has only ever been spoken by popular people.
John Green
Dying is the last thing I would EVER do!
John Green
Augustus Waters, I said, looking up at him, thinking that you cannot kiss anyone in the Anne Frank House, and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love.
John Green
Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of the stars to cross.
John Green
I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow.
John Green
What's the point in being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.
John Green
But monotony doesn't make for painlessness.
John Green
This squirrel is inadequately afraid of humans! Squirrel, I am a threat to you! We are enemies! Please get off my bench! Oh, god! Oh, god! Don't touch me—oh, god!
John Green
That didn’t happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined them.
John Green
I came to the conclusion a while ago that there is nothing romantic or supernatural about loving someone: Love is the privilege of being responsible for another. It was, for a time, what kept me going: Each morning, for a little while, I got to feel the weight of the yoke on my back as I pulled the ancient cart of my species.
John Green
depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.
John Green
I do my precalc homework, and then when I'm done I actually sit with the textbook for like three hours and try to understand what I just did. That's the kind of weekend it is--the kind where you have so much time you go past the answers and start looking into the ideas.
John Green
It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you.
John Green
We idealize them as gods or dismiss them as animals.
John Green
This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die.- Paper Towns
John Green
The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes.
