John Green
She waited for me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the breadcrumb tail until it dead-ended into her.
John Green
depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.
John Green
There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow- that, in short, we are all going.
John Green
There is no try. There is only do.
John Green
If people were like rain, I was like drizzle and she was a hurricane.
John Green
The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.
