More quotes by John Green
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they've had fewer of them. It's like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
John Green
She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth.
John Green
I am a giant squid of anger.
John Green
But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.
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
Ben Starling, you better not have bought your token black friend a racist shirt
John Green
It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
John Green
The future will erase everything--there's no level of fame or genius that allows you to transcend oblivion. The infinite future makes that kind of mattering impossible.
John Green
We are now as I wished we could be then.
John Green
I came here looking for a Great Perhaps, for real friends and a more-than-minor life.
John Green
I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.
John Green
There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it.
John Green
Dying is the last thing I would EVER do!
John Green
Hank, when people call people nerds mostly what they're saying is,'You like stuff'.
John Green
They belong to their readers now, which is a great thing–because the books are more powerful in the hands of my readers than they could ever be in my hands.
John Green
And then we were kissing.....The space around us evaporated, and for a weird moment I rally like my body this cancer-ruined thing I'd spent years dragging around suddenly seemed worth the struggle.
John Green
She was up and down—from fire and brimstone to smoke and ashes.
John Green
I can't imagine us saying these things to each other out loud. But even if I can't imagine hearing these words, I can imagine living them. I don't even picture it. Instead I'm in it. How I would feel with him here. That peace. It would be so happy, and it makes me sad because it only exists in words.
John Green
At least it was instant. At least there wasn't any pain. I knew he was only trying to help, but he didn't get it. There was pain. A dul endless pain in my gut that wouldn't go away even when I knelt on the stingingly frozen tile of the bathroom, dry-heaving.
John Green
I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much.
John Green
