I always liked routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring.
John Green
I needed, I decided, to really know her, because I needed more to remember. Before I could begin the shameful process of forgetting the how and the why of her living and dying, I needed to learn it: How. Why. When. Where. What.
John Green
She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.
John Green
Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last the last shall be first the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.
John Green
We had to forgive to survive the labyrinth
John Green

And then there are skunk stripes.
John Green

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
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
...And in freedom, most people find sin.
John Green
You're awfully philosophical for a girl that just got busted.
John Green
I have to tell you man, that my stalker meter is kind of registering in the red zone right now.
John Green
There's your labyrinth of suffering. We are all going. Find your way out of that maze.
John Green
What's your name ? Hazel . No , your full name . Um , Hazel Grace Lancaster .
John Green
We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors . . . But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green
One of the Great Rules of Economics According to John Green If you are rich, you have to be an idiot not to stay rich. And if you are poor, you have to be really smart to get rich.
