We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors . . . But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green
On the morning in question, she wore white shorts and a pink T-shirt that featured a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. It is difficult to explain how awesome I found this T-shirt at the time.

I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.

The true ninja doesn't make a splash at all.
John Green
You'll live forever in our hearts, big man. That particularly galled me, because it implied the immortality of those left behind: You will live forever in my memory, because I will live forever! I AM YOUR GOD NOW, DEAD BOY! I OWN YOU!
John Green
Colin thought about the dork mantra: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. What a dirty lie.
John Green
All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.
John Green
