I couldn't hear a thing in the world but you. And it was so cold then, and so silent, and I loved you so much. Now it's hot and dead quiet again, and I love you still.

Augustus, I said. Really. You don't have to do this. Sure I do, he said. I found my Wish. God, you're the best, I told him. I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel, he answered.

I do my precalc homework, and then when I'm done I actually sit with the textbook for like three hours and try to understand what I just did. That's the kind of weekend it is--the kind where you have so much time you go past the answers and start looking into the ideas.
John Green
After all this time, it seems to me like straight and fast is the only way out- but I choose the labyrinth. The labyrinth blows, but I choose it.
John Green
I’m not up for laughing, but their laughter makes the room feel safer, so we begin to explore.
