More quotes by John Green
I was thinking about the universe wanting to be noticed, and how I had to notice it as best I could. I felt that I owed a debt to the universe that only my attention could repay, and also that I owed a debt to everybody who didn’t get to be a person anymore and everyone who hadn’t gotten to be a person yet.

The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available.
John Green
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
John Green
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating I know I can never go back. But then what? Do I just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?
John Green
You never know. It's just. It's like. POOF. And you're gone.
John Green

Your friendship with her-it sleeps with the fishes.

Ben Starling, you better not have bought your token black friend a racist shirt
John Green
I've gotten really hot since you went blind.
John Green
It looked like an old painting, but real - everything achingly idyllic in the morning light - and I thought about how wonderfully strange it would be to live in a place where almost everything had been built by the dead.
John Green
Why don’t we break up? I guess I stay with her because she stays with me. And that’s not an easy thing to do.
John Green
I can't imagine us saying these things to each other out loud. But even if I can't imagine hearing these words, I can imagine living them. I don't even picture it. Instead I'm in it. How I would feel with him here. That peace. It would be so happy, and it makes me sad because it only exists in words.
John Green
She has enough black eyeliner on to outline a corpse, and her skin's so pale she looks like she's just broken dawn.
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
The funny thing about writing is that whether you're doing well or doing it poorly, it looks the exact same. That's actually one of the main ways that writing is different from ballet dancing.
