More quotes by John Green
We do an epically bad job of acknowledging one another's work and checking our sources.
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
I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.

We can hear others, and we can travel with them without moving, and we can imagine them, and we are all connected one to the other by a crazy root system, like so many leaves of grass. But the game makes me wonder wheter we can really ever fully become another.
John Green
The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention. The guy who invented the smallpox vaccine didn't actually invent anything. He just noticed that people with cowpox didn't get smallpox.

John Green
You're awfully philosophical for a girl that just got busted.
John Green
I do not say goodbye. I believe that's one of the bullshitiest words ever invented. It's not like you're given the choice to say bad-bye, or awful-bye, or couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye. Everytime you leave, it's supposed to be a good one.
John Green
Oh, Wikipedia, with your tension between those who would share knowledge and those who would destroy it.
John Green
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
Suffering is universal. it’s the one thing Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims are all worried about.
John Green
The past feels distant, even when it's near. The future feels assured, even when it isn't.
John Green
The nature of the love between a parent and child really is literally stronger than death. As long as either person in that relationship is alive, that relationship is still alive.
John Green
We left. We did not say: Don't drive, You're drunk. We did not say: We aren't letting you in that car when you are upset. We did not say: We insist on going with you. We did not say: This can wait until tomorrow. Anything-everything-can wait.
John Green
And I put the latte down on a table, awash in the happy middle of my greatest adventure.
John Green
You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.
John Green
