More quotes by John Green
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.
John Green
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
I'm a big believer in pairing classics with contemporary literature, so students have the opportunity to see that literature is not a cold, dead thing that happened once but instead a vibrant mode of storytelling that's been with us a long time - and will be with us, I hope, for a long time to come.
John Green
Caroline was always moody and miserable, but I liked it. I liked feeling as if she had chosen me as the only person in the world not to hate, and so we spent all this time together just ragging on everyone, you know?
John Green

John Green
Some people have lives some people have music.
John Green

John Green
It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
John Green
This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die.- Paper Towns
John Green
You live for pretentious metaphors.
John Green
And yes, again, that was it exactly. A retyper and not a writer. A prodigy and not a genius.
John Green
Love is tied to truth.
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.
John Green
In the contemporary world where things fall apart, and the centre cannot hold, you have to imagine a community where there is no centre. Hank, at the end of this year I started thinking that a lot of life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.
John Green
Right, well, he'd been sick for a while and his nurse said to him, 'You seem to be feeling better this morning,' and Isben looked at her and said, 'On the contrary,' and then he died.
John Green
That was part of her, and you used to know it. It's like now you only care about the Alaska you made up.
John Green
it is the nature of stars to cross
John Green
We're invisible. I've never been here with someone else. It's different being invisible with someone.
John Green
