More quotes by John Green
What matters to you defines your mattering.
John Green
Study broadly and without fear.
John Green
Colin's skin was alive with the feeling of connection to everyone in that car and everyone not in it. And he was feeling not-unique in the very best possible way.

It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
John Green

We can hear others, and we can travel with them without moving, and we can imagine them, and we are all connected one to the other by a crazy root system, like so many leaves of grass. But the game makes me wonder wheter we can really ever fully become another.
John Green
I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?
John Green
Take a picture of this so Isaac can see it when they invent robot eyes.
John Green
We all matter - maybe less then a lot but always more than none.
John Green
Books—they weren't ladders out of the abyss, but they were companions.
John Green
I know what happens a the end of falling-landing.
John Green
As much as life can suck, it always beats the alternative.
John Green
Just spend a few more months playing video games. That hand-eye coordination will come in handy when you get to third base.
John Green
I came to the conclusion a while ago that there is nothing romantic or supernatural about loving someone: Love is the privilege of being responsible for another. It was, for a time, what kept me going: Each morning, for a little while, I got to feel the weight of the yoke on my back as I pulled the ancient cart of my species.
John Green
There is no try. There is only do.
John Green
Worry is yet another side effect of dying.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
