John Green
But you want to see shapes you want to see stories, so you pick them out of the sky.
John Green
We are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be.
John Green
I was thinking about the universe wanting to be noticed, and how I had to notice it as best I could. I felt that I owed a debt to the universe that only my attention could repay, and also that I owed a debt to everybody who didn’t get to be a person anymore and everyone who hadn’t gotten to be a person yet.
John Green
