More quotes by John Green
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
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
At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze.
John Green
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they've had fewer of them. It's like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
John Green
He loved the scratching of pencil against paper when he was focused: it meant something was happening.
John Green
If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone love me?
John Green
These little contradictions are in all of us. They're in me at least. And so I forgot that I had been awake for 30 hours and kept walking, grateful to be a little boat full of water, still floating.
John Green
You're amazing, and I so want to be your boyfriend, because of what you just said, and also because that shirt makes me want to take you home and do unspeakable things while we watch live-action Sailor Moon videos
John Green

John Green
I love you present tense.

Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
John Green
But it is a pipe. No, it's not, I said. It's a drawing of a pipe. Get it? All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. It's very clever.
John Green
Nothing's wrong. Everything's right. Things couldn't be righter. Things could be less tired. They could be less busy. They could be less caffeinated. But they couldn't be righter.
John Green
In general, watching children's television is a dark and surreal descent into madness where the characters on the screen talk directly to you.
John Green
There is a part of her greater than the sum of her knowable parts. And that part has to go somewhere, because it cannot be destroyed.
John Green
Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Gus knew. Gus knows. I will not tell you our love story, because—like all real love stories—it will die with us, as it should.
John Green
I realized that all my life, my values were based upon typical middle-class American values: hard work, doing good, living well, owning things, following the rules & being the best I can be... but God clearly says, those are not MY values. I value justice, mercy & humility.
John Green
Hank, when people call people nerds mostly what they're saying is,'You like stuff'.
John Green
Reading a good book helps us to feel un-alone.
John Green
It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.
