The challenge is the same whether or not I'm collaborating: to empathize with your reader and to tell a story that will matter to him or her.

John Green
It's just that I learned a while ago that the best way to get people to like you is not to like them too much.
John Green
True love will triumph in the end—which may or may not be a lie, but if it is a lie, it's the most beautiful lie we have.
John Green
I don't have a favourite book, I have hundreds.
John Green
At the end, we brought her to New York, where I was living, for a series of experimental tortures that increased the misery of her days without increasing the number of them.
John Green
I told myself – as I’ve told myself before – that the body shuts down when the pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass. But just like always, I didn’t slip away. I was left on the shore with the waves washing over me, unable to drown.
John Green
If you don't live a life in service of a greater good, you've gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything.
John Green
