When we think of death, we often imagine it as happening in degrees: We think of a sick person becoming less and less alive until finally they are gone.
John Green
I know that books seem like the ultimate thing that's made by one person, but that's not true. Every reading of a book is a collaboration between the reader and the writer who are making the story up together.

Stupid truth, always resisting simplicity

It is not my fault that my parents own the world's largest collection of black Santas.
John Green
We have to live with ambiguity. We have to give ourselves over to it. The question is: How? How are we going to live in a universe where important questions will always go unanswered?
