John Green
We had to forgive to survive the labyrinth
John Green

John Green
You know, like when you look in the mirror and the thing you see is not the thing as it really is.
John Green
That doesn't sound like my Margo, she said, and I thought of my Margo, and all of us looking at her reflection in different funhouse mirrors.
John Green
That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.
John Green
Ya gotta live somewhere, but also you GET to live somewhere.
John Green
I couldn't hear a thing in the world but you. And it was so cold then, and so silent, and I loved you so much. Now it's hot and dead quiet again, and I love you still.
John Green
Funerals...are for the living.
