John Green

John Green
That's how writing works, at least for me: even the stuff that doesn't work out gets funneled into the stuff that does work out.
John Green
Nothing has ever looked like that ever in all of human history.
John Green
He just waited until I stopped talking and said, 'Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives. So what's your theory?
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
You could drive past it without noticing and from what I understand, you ought to.
John Green
The idea is that for ten minutes, we forget that we have feelings. And we forget about protecting ourselves or other people and we just say the truth. For ten minutes. And then we can go back to being lame.
