More quotes by John Green
It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you.
John Green
You know what ambrosia tastes like? It tastes like all the things you can't eat on Weight Watchers. Cheeseburgers, sugar cookies, regular freaking ice cream instead of, like, ice cream that's made out of air and human hope.
John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green
I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back.

I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan.

John Green

Why is it upset? Shouldn't it be downset?
John Green
I figured something out. The future is unpredictable.
John Green
High School made me realize that the people who say they will never change, are always the ones who change the most.
John Green
That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.
John Green
I have guts, just not when it counts.
John Green
As I recall, you promised to CALL when you finished the book, not text.
John Green
She's cute, I thought, but you don't need to like a girl who treats you like you're ten: You've already got a mom.
John Green
It's not fair, I said. It's just so goddamned unfair. The world, he said, is not a wishgranting factory.
John Green
I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointments in the Department of Having a Voice that Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin.
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
