More quotes by John Green
...And in freedom, most people find sin.
John Green
All hurt is brain hurt.
John Green
I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
John Green
I know so many last words. But I will never know hers.
John Green

Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
John Green
I don't think you're dying, I said. I think you've just got a touch of cancer. He smiled. Gallows humor.
John Green
Ya gotta live somewhere, but also you GET to live somewhere.
John Green
All the characters are made out of words. With reading, I understand that the people aren't real but the fact that they are made out of language and are made out of words is extremely powerful to me. It becomes transformative for me. Different people have different ways of trying to make stories using language.
John Green
sometimes it's okay to cheat on things - but don't ever cheat on people. because once you start, it's very hard to stop. you find out how easy it is to do.
John Green
But what could I lose by continuing that had not already been lost?
John Green
Tiny Cooper is not the world's gayest person, and he is not the world's largest person, but I believe he may be the world's largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world's gayest person who is really, really large.
John Green
It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.
John Green
The sun was a toddler insistently refusing to go to bed: It was past eight thirty and still light.
