John Green
I think that most of us [writers] would rather have an audience than countless riches. If we wanted to be rich, we'd be doing smething else.
John Green
Okay is BURSTING with sensuality
John Green
We Play the broken string of our instruments one last time
John Green
Oh, Wikipedia, with your tension between those who would share knowledge and those who would destroy it.
John Green
Incidentally, did you know that the whole eight glasses a day thing is complete bullshit and has no scientific basis? So many things are like that. Everyone just assumes they're true, because people are basically lazy and incurious, which incidentally is one of those words that sounds like it wouldn't be a word but is.
John Green
I am in the midst of a soliloquy! I wrote this out and memorized it and if you interrupt me I will completely screw it up,' Augustus interrupted. 'Please to be eating your sandwich and listening.
John Green
Your driving is unpleasant, but it isn't technically unsafe.
John Green
Jesus, I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're going to do. I'm just going to do it.
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
