John Green

John Green

John Green
It has been my experience that maximizing income is a helluva lot less important than maximizing passion and fulfillment in your both professionally and personally.
John Green
She was up and down—from fire and brimstone to smoke and ashes.
John Green
You had been a paper boy to me all these years - two dimensions as a character on the page and two different, but still flat, dimensions as a person. But that night you turned out to be real.
John Green
A small olive-skinned creature who had hit puberty but never hit it very hard, Ben had been my best friend since fifth grade, when we both finally owned up to the fact that neither of us was likely to attract anyone else as a best friend.
John Green
The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle.
John Green
She was not an adventure, she was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
