More quotes by John Green
There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1.
John Green
I knew that I would know more dead people. The bodies pile up. Could there be a space in my memory for each of them, or would I forget a little of Alaska every day for the rest of my life?
John Green
Becoming a father made me much more interested in the parent character in my novels. I've never found parents that interesting.
John Green
It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in.
John Green
High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.
John Green
He let his mind wander. It went to a predictable place, and he missed her
John Green
I don't think you're dying, I said. I think you've just got a touch of cancer. He smiled. Gallows humor.
John Green
What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant.
John Green
So I let her go, too. And I'm sorry.
John Green
I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.
John Green
Books belong to their readers.
John Green
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever pay attention to them and they always love you back.
John Green
I think forever is an incorrect concept.
John Green
I do not say goodbye. I believe that's one of the bullshitiest words ever invented. It's not like you're given the choice to say bad-bye, or awful-bye, or couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye. Everytime you leave, it's supposed to be a good one.
John Green
She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endeavor.
John Green
Traveling, I am finding, teaches you a lot of things about yourself. For instance, I never thought myself to be the kind of person who pees into a mostly empty bottle of Bluefin energy drink while driving through South Carolina at seventy-seven miles per hour - but in face I am that kind of person.
John Green
Collin Singleton could no more stay cool than a blue whale could stay skinny or Bangladesh could stay rich
John Green
Not to ask the obvious question, but why Alaska?
John Green
What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person.
John Green
And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you it's something that happens with you.
John Green
