More quotes by John Green

Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them, I said. Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.

When I think about [characters], I like to think of them in their relationships to each other. In the same way, I think that's how humans are ultimately defined. We are our relationships to one another. And a lot of what's interesting about us happens in the context of other people.

Like everyone, I'm saddened and horrified by this. All I'll say is that I'm personally trying to pay more attention to the victims than to their murderer. I certainly will not be mentioning the murderer. I don't think he warrants our attention-particularly since he so clearly wanted it.

That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.

Physical intimacy isn’t and can never be an effective substitute for emotional intimacy.
John Green
This was what I liked most about my friends: just sitting around & telling stories.
John Green
Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old.

In the first century CE, Roman authorities punished St. Apollonia by crushing her teeth one by one with pliers. Colin often thought about this in relationship to the monotony of dumping: we have thirty-two teeth. After a while, having each tooth individually destroyed probably gets repetitive, even dull. But it never stops hurting.
