John Green
The abbreviated exam week meant that Wednesday was the last day of school for us. And all day long, it was hard not to walk around, thinking about the lastness of it all.
John Green
There's no reason whatsoever to drink eight glasses of water a day unless you, for whatever reason, particularly like the taste of water
John Green
I have guts, just not when it counts.
John Green
And in my classes, I will talk most of the time, and you will listen most of the time. Because you may be smart, but I've been smart longer.
John Green
Colin thought about the dork mantra: sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. What a dirty lie.
John Green
I fear oblivion. I fear it like the proverbial blind man who's afraid of the dark.
John Green
Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word - forever - and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage.
