More quotes by John Green
The easiest way to solve a mystery is to decide that there is no mystery to solve.
John Green
Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.
John Green
Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last the last shall be first the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.
John Green
…God, it’s over. Takumi, you gotta stop stealing other people’s problems and get some of your own.
John Green
All representations of a thing are inherently abstract.
John Green
Colin did not laugh. Instead he thought, Tampons have strings? Why? Of all the major human mysteries - God, the nature of the universe, etc. - he knew the least about tampons. To Colin, tampons were a little bit like grizzly bears: he was aware of their existence, but he'd never seen on in the wild, and didn't really care to.

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
But I was not in the band, because I suffer from the kind of tone deafness that is generally associated with actual deafness
John Green
Easy comfort isn't comforting
John Green
The sky is like a monochromatic contemporay painting, drawing me in its illusion of depth, pulling me up.
John Green
I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.
John Green
You can't just make me different and then leave. You can't. You can't change me and make my whole life centered around you, then leave.
John Green
Youth is counted sweetest by those who are no longer young.
John Green
My regret was immediate and permanent and useless.
John Green
We have to live with ambiguity. We have to give ourselves over to it. The question is: How? How are we going to live in a universe where important questions will always go unanswered?
John Green
I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.
John Green
High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.
John Green
We all matter - maybe less then a lot but always more than none.
John Green
We acknowledge that being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
John Green
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they've had fewer of them. It's like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
John Green
