John Green

John Green
We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations.
John Green
Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
John Green
If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.
John Green
