What's your name ? Hazel . No , your full name . Um , Hazel Grace Lancaster .
John Green
Augustus, I said. Really. You don't have to do this. Sure I do, he said. I found my Wish. God, you're the best, I told him. I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel, he answered.
John Green
Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.
John Green
There's your labyrinth of suffering. We are all going. Find your way out of that maze.
John Green
This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ship s sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
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
He flipped himself onto his side and kissed me. You're so hot, I said, my hand still on his leg. I'm starting to think you have an amputee fetish, he answered, still kissing me. I laughed. I have an Augustus Waters fetish, I explained.
John Green

John Green
High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.
John Green
Remember that time in the minivan, twenty minutes ago, when we didn't die?
John Green
They belong to their readers now, which is a great thing–because the books are more powerful in the hands of my readers than they could ever be in my hands.
John Green
The challenge is the same whether or not I'm collaborating: to empathize with your reader and to tell a story that will matter to him or her. But the mechanics of going about that challenge change when you're collaborating, because you have someone to help refine your thinking and expand your vision of what might happen.
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
The minister said, “Let us pray,” but as everyone else bowed their head, I could only stare slack-jawed at the sight of Peter Van Houten. After a moment, he whispered, “We gotta fake pray,” and bowed his head.
John Green
I'm not interested in writing for adults. I like them as people! I don't like the way they publish books in that world. Nothing ever gets a chance.
John Green
Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.
John Green
Random questions are the least random of all questions.
John Green
Does he have ugly hands? Sometimes beautiful people have ugly hands. No he has kind of amazing hands.
John Green
We gotta do something about this frigging swing set,' he said. 'I'm telling you, it's ninety percent of the problem.
John Green
