I'm really not up for answering any questions that start with how, when, where, why or what.
John Green
I stand in this parking lot, realizing that I’ve never been this far from home, and here is this girl I love and cannot follow. I hope this is the hero’s errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

You can’t know, sweetie, because you’ve never had a baby become a brilliant young reader with a side interest in horrible television shows, but the joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.

I wondered if there would ever be a day when I didn't think about Alaska, wondered whether I should hope for a time when she would be a distant memory - recalled only on the anniversary of her death, or maybe a couple of weeks after, remembering only after having forgotten.

John Green
I've never known before what it feels like to want someone - not to want to hook up with them or whatever, but to want them, to want them. And now I do. So maybe I do believe in epiphanies.
John Green
It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.
John Green
The world is not a wish-granting factory.
John Green
I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you.
John Green
You may be smart, but I've been smart longer.
John Green
But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail
John Green
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating I know I can never go back. But then what? Do I just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?
John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green
When people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is, 'you like stuff.' Which is not a good insult at all, like, 'you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human conscience.
John Green
JP shouted, TELL THEM WHAT YOU JUST DID TO EACH OTHER! Um, I said. We kissed, the Duke said. That's kinda gay, Keun said. I AM A GIRL. Yeah, I know, but so is Tobin, Keun said.

Nothing really ever happens like you imagine it will.
