John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green

John Green
The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.
John Green
If I could do it all over again, he said, his speech slow and vaguely mangled by his massive lower lip, I'd just let myself be trampled to death by the Satan Pig.
John Green
We look back to the most important moment in our history, and that becomes the dividing line between what we were and what we are now.
John Green

John Green
