John Green
When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back.
John Green
Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you? But I always wonder about that. If people could see me the way I see myself—if they could live in my memories—would anyone, anyone, love me?
