More quotes by John Green
I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.
John Green
I found his last words without too much searching. Captured by the Bolivian army, Guevara said, 'Shoot, coward. You are only going to kill a man.

Nothing's wrong. Everything's right. Things couldn't be righter. Things could be less tired. They could be less busy. They could be less caffeinated. But they couldn't be righter.
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
Her hair is ridiculous, I said. I know. That was the only thing I said about her that was true. 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, you know? I mean, there are highlights. And there are streaks.

All salvation is temporary, Augustus shot back. I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.

That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.
John Green
It's almost as if the way you imagine my dead self says more about you than it says about either the person I was or the whatever I am now.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town.
John Green
I thought you hung the moon.
John Green
When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.
John Green
You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that too much.
John Green
Without pain, how could we know joy?' This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.
John Green
Collin Singleton could no more stay cool than a blue whale could stay skinny or Bangladesh could stay rich
John Green
Different authors write different ways, have different relationships with their audiences, and those are all legitimate.
John Green
i wanted more time so we could fall in love.
John Green
If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.
John Green
That's why people grow weary of listening to Dumpees obsess over their troubles: getting dumped is predictable, repetitive, and boring. They want to stay friends they feel smothered it's always them and it's never you and afterward, you're devastated and their relieved it's over for them and just starting for you.
John Green
I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.
