Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people.

I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.
John Green
Nostalgia is inevitably a yearning for a past that never existed and when I'm writing, there are no bees to sting me out of my sentimentality. For me at least, fiction is the only way I can even begin to twist my lying memories into something true.
John Green
Dying is the last thing I would EVER do!
John Green
I felt the unfairness of it, the inarguable injustice of loving someone who might have loved you back but can't due to deadness.
John Green
Love is always a miracle, everywhere,every time. But for us, it's a little different. I don't want to say it's more miraculous,...It is though.

You know how we make a Scotch and water in this home? No, sir, Gus said. We pour Scotch into a glass and then call to mind thoughts of water, and then we mix the actual Scotch with the abstracted idea of water.
