More quotes by John Green
I don't like reindeer. They seem like regular deer, only more dangerous.
John Green
I just want the pleasure of noticing these things at a safe distance.
John Green
That's how writing works, at least for me: even the stuff that doesn't work out gets funneled into the stuff that does work out.
John Green
Augustus Waters, I said, looking up at him, thinking that you cannot kiss anyone in the Anne Frank House, and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love.
John Green
He specialized in the murder of dreams, Hazel Grace.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
Half-drunk on well-creamed gas station coffee and the exhilarating loneliness of a freeway in nighttime.
John Green
I know it's impossible for you to see your peers this way, but when you're older, you start to see them--the bad kids and the good kids and all kids--as people. They're just people, who deserve to be cared for.
John Green

John Green
There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it.
John Green
If I had cared about her as I should have, as I thought I did, how could I have let her go?
John Green
And then the line was quite but not dead. I almost felt like he was there in my room with me, but in a way it was better, like I was not in my room and he was not in his, but instead we were together in some invisible and tenuous third space that could only be visited on the phone.
John Green
You are fairly smart, I said after a while. You are fairly good at compliments, he answered.
John Green
Incidentally, did you know that the whole eight glasses a day thing is complete bullshit and has no scientific basis? So many things are like that. Everyone just assumes they're true, because people are basically lazy and incurious, which incidentally is one of those words that sounds like it wouldn't be a word but is.
John Green
I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.
John Green
You live for pretentious metaphors.
John Green
I'm a grenade, I just want to stay away from people and read books, and think.
John Green
Ultimately what I like about reading together is that we all make it happen together. Of course even amid shared experience we’re still alone… each reading of each book is unique. But what a comfort it is to share readings and experiences. How lucky we are when we get to be alone together.
John Green
In general, watching children's television is a dark and surreal descent into madness where the characters on the screen talk directly to you.
John Green
Videogame players essentially choose whether to win the game or to die heroically. There's a certain glory in both.
