She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.
John Green
As I recall, you promised to CALL when you finished the book, not text.
John Green
If you don't live a life in service of a greater good, you've gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything.
John Green
We're going to get gored to death by a feral fugging hog and your best strategy is to pretend it's a grizzly bear?
John Green
Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.
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
He let his mind wander. It went to a predictable place, and he missed her
John Green
Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
John Green
Anyway, that was the last good day I had with Gus until the Last Good Day.
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
We Play the broken string of our instruments one last time
John Green
The phrase booze and mischief left me worrying I'd stumbled into what my mother referred to as the wrong crowd, but for the wrong crowd, they both seemed awfully smart.
John Green
I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.
John Green
So I let her go, too. And I'm sorry.
John Green
The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before.
John Green
This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. 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
Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Gus knew. Gus knows. I will not tell you our love story, because—like all real love stories—it will die with us, as it should.
John Green
It's almost as if the way you imagine my dead self says more about you than it says about either the person I was or the whatever I am now.
John Green
I'm starting to realize that people lack good mirrors. It's so hard for anyone to show us how we look, & so hard for us to show anyone how we feel.
John Green
