John Green
Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.
John Green
I know that books seem like the ultimate thing that's made by one person, but that's not true. Every reading of a book is a collaboration between the reader and the writer who are making the story up together.
John Green
What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?
John Green
The book was turned to the page with Anne Frank's name, but what got me about it was the fact that right beneath her name there were four Aron Franks. FOUR. Four Aron Franks without museums, without historical markers, without anyone to mourn them. I silently resolved to remember and pray for the four Aron Franks as long as I was around.
John Green
I don't even know how ugly and pretty get decided.
John Green
I always had this secret suspicion that I was special.
John Green
That smile could end wars and cure cancer.
John Green
The food was so good that with each passing course, our conversation devolved further into fragmented celebrations of its deliciousness: 'I want this dragon carrot risotto to become a person so I can take it to Las Vegas and marry it.
