True love will triumph in the end—which may or may not be a lie, but if it is a lie, it's the most beautiful lie we have.

More quotes by John Green
The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes.
John Green
And imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
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.
John Green
Nothing really mattered that much, not the good things and not the bad ones. We were in the business of mutual amusement, and we were reasonably prosperous.
John Green
I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don't expect them to like girl movies.
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
We acknowledge that being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
John Green
One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.
John Green
We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either.
John Green
But you know what they say about Gutshot: the population never goes up and never goes down, because every time a woman gets pregnant, a man leaves town.
John Green
Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way.
John Green
He knew he couldn't tell stories, that he always included extraneous details & tangents that interested only him.
John Green
You can't just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different.
John Green
I'm a good person but a shitty writer. You're a shitty person but a good writer. We'd make a good team.
John Green
It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in.
John Green
Does he have ugly hands? Sometimes beautiful people have ugly hands. No he has kind of amazing hands.
John Green
We do an epically bad job of acknowledging one another's work and checking our sources.
John Green
If by that you mean that I dislike celebrity magazines, prefer food to anorexia, refuse to watch TV shows about models, and hate the color pink, then yes. I am proud to be not really a girl.
John Green
I don't even know how ugly and pretty get decided.
John Green
I told myself – as I’ve told myself before – that the body shuts down when the pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass. But just like always, I didn’t slip away. I was left on the shore with the waves washing over me, unable to drown.
