More quotes by John Green
Without pain, we couldn't know joy.
John Green
Suffering is universal.
John Green
The abbreviated exam week meant that Wednesday was the last day of school for us. And all day long, it was hard not to walk around, thinking about the lastness of it all.

I believe in that line from An Imperial Affliction. 'The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes.' That's God, I think, the rising sun, and the light is too bright and her eyes are losing but they aren't lost.
John Green
Read a lot. Read broadly... Tell stories to your friends, and pay attention to when they get bored... Write a lot.
John Green
And on the last day, the bad days become so difficult to recall, because one way or another, she had made a life here, just as I had. The town was paper, but the memories were not. All the things I’d done here, all the love and pity and compassion and violence and spite, kept welling up inside me.

Is the labyrinth living or dying?
John Green
Also, it was a bit hopeless, he said. A bit defeatist. If by defeatist you mean honest, then I agree. I don't think defeatism is honest, Dad answered. I refuse to accept that.
John Green
But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
John Green
That's the mystery, isn't it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape---the world or the end of it?
John Green
I just want you to be happy. If that’s with me or with someone else or with nobody. I just want you to be happy.
John Green
At least it was instant. At least there wasn't any pain. I knew he was only trying to help, but he didn't get it. There was pain. A dul endless pain in my gut that wouldn't go away even when I knelt on the stingingly frozen tile of the bathroom, dry-heaving.
John Green
I didn't know what to say to her - I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.
John Green
I think that it's a universal urge to have our pain not be felt alone and to have our joys not be felt alone.
