John Green
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
John Green
You are a side effect, Van Houten continued, of an evolutionary process that cares little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation.
John Green
I figured something out, he said aloud. The future is unpredictable. Hassan said, Sometimes the kafir likes to say massively obvious things in a really profound voice.
John Green
The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory.
John Green
I was not religious, but I liked rituals. I liked the idea of connecting an action with remembering.
John Green
Miles, as in 'to go before I sleep'?
John Green
There will come a time, when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything.
John Green
Osteosarcoma sometimes takes a limb to check you out. The, if it like you, it takes the rest.
John Green
All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.
