More quotes by John Green
Augustus Waters, I said, looking up at him, thinking that you cannot kiss anyone in the Anne Frank House, and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love.

I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.
John Green
I make a gesture that is intended to convey, Hey, no hurry, talk as long as you'd like, and probably actually conveys, Hey, look at me! I have spastic hands.
John Green
Compromise is when you do what I tell you and I do what I want. ~Tiny Cooper
John Green
I don't decide where I live. My wife decides. She's a curator of contemporary art, and she works at an art museum, so we go wherever she has a job. All basements look the same, so I can write from whatever basement I happen to be living in.
John Green
Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
John Green
I think that most of us [writers] would rather have an audience than countless riches. If we wanted to be rich, we'd be doing smething else.
John Green
I was born into Bolívar's labyrinth, and so I must believe in the hope of Rabelais' Great Perhaps.
John Green
me: you know what sucks about love? o.w.g.: what? me: that it's so tied to the truth. I know it sucks, but in a way, it's good....Love and truth being tied together, I mean. They make each other possible, you know?
John Green
Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway
John Green
How will I ever get out of this labyrinth! to a margin note written in her loop-heavy cursive: Straight & Fast.
John Green
I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.
John Green
Maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.
John Green
Hazel Grace,” he said. “Hi,” I said. “How are you?” “Grand,” he said. “I have been wanting to call you on a nearly minutely basis, but I have been waiting until I could form a coherent thought in re An Imperial Affliction.” (He said “in re.” He really did. That boy.)
John Green
When we think of death, we often imagine it as happening in degrees: We think of a sick person becoming less and less alive until finally they are gone.
John Green
When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back.
John Green
The fourth way to get a boy to like you is to be yourself. Now, I am contractually obligated as an adult to give that advice, even though it doesn't work. But yeah, be yourself, even though no one has any idea what it means to be yourself. Like whose self would I otherwise be being?
John Green
For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest was cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way.
John Green
“I thought we were in a church basement, but we are literally in the heart of Jesus.” “Someone should tell Jesus,” I said. “I mean, it's gotta be dangerous, storing children with cancer in your heart.” “I would tell Him myself.” Augustus said, “but unfortunately I am literally stuck inside of His heart, so He won't be able to hear me.”
John Green
