More quotes by John Green
I spy with my little eye a great story.
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.

You and me will read a book and find three interesting things that we remember. But Colin finds everything intriguing. He reads a book about presidents and he remembers more of it because everything he reads clicks in his head as fugging interesting.
John Green
I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.
John Green
It must be some book, she said as she knelt down next to the bed...Did that boy give it to you? She asked out of nowhere. By 'it' do you mean herpes? You are too much, Mom said, The book, Hazel. I mean the book.
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

John Green
Love is tied to truth.
John Green
And yet still I worried. I like being a person. I wanted to keep at it. Worry is yet another side effect of dying.
John Green
The missing piece in his stomach hurt so much-and eventually he stopped thinking about the Theorem and wondered only how something that isn't there can hurt you.
