John Green

John Green
Also, I feel that crying is almost--like, aside from deaths of relatives or whatever-- totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1.Don't care too much. 2. Shut up. Everything unfortunate that has ever happened to me has stemmed from failure to follow one of the rules.
John Green
Teenagers think they are invincible
John Green
I make a gesture that is intended to convey, Hey, no hurry, talk as long as you'd like, and probably actually conveys, Hey, look at me! I have spastic hands.
John Green
You could drive past it without noticing and from what I understand, you ought to.
John Green
The marks humans leave are too often scars.
John Green
We all matter - maybe less then a lot but always more than none.
John Green

John Green
I was thinking about this girl you love so much, she said, And this place I love so much. And how that happens. How you can just fall into it.
John Green
3 whole Catfish, Wrapped separately Veet (It’s for Shaving your legs Only you don’t Need A razor. It’s with all the Girly cosmetic stuff) Vaseline six pack, Mountain Dew One dozen Tulips one Bottle Of water Tissues One Can of blue Spray paint
John Green
I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.
John Green
That's absolutely true, about the eight glasses a day. There's no reason whatsoever to drink eight glasses of water a day unless you, for whatever reason, particularly like the taste of water. Most experts agree that unless there's something horribly wrong with you, you should just drink water whenever you're - get this - thirsty.
John Green
See, popularity is complicated. You have to spend a lot of time thinking about liking you have to really like being liked, and also sort like being disliked.
John Green
She cannot possibly be dead, people do not just die
John Green
Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of the stars to cross.
John Green
I am a giant squid of anger.
John Green
Her library filled her bookshelves and then overflowed into waist-high stacks of books everywhere, piled haphazardly against the walls. If just one of them moved... the domino effect could engulf the three of us in an asphyxiating mass of literature.
