More quotes by John Green
... I didn't know whether to feel angry at her for making me part of her suicide or just to feel angry at myself for letting her go.
John Green
How are the eyes?' 'Oh, excellent,' he said. 'I mean, they're not in my head is the only problem.' 'Awesome, yeah,' Gus said. 'Not to one-up you or anything, but my body is made out of cancer.' 'So I heard,' Issac said, trying not to let it get to him. He fumbled toward Gus's hand and found only his thigh. 'I'm taken,' Gus said.
John Green
The vast majority of us imagine ourselves as like literature people or math people. But the truth is that the massive processor known as the human brain is neither a literature organ or a math organ. It is both and more.
John Green
Also, I feel that crying is almost--like, aside from deaths of relatives or whatever-- totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1.Don't care too much. 2. Shut up. Everything unfortunate that has ever happened to me has stemmed from failure to follow one of the rules.
John Green
I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.
John Green
The easiest way to solve a mystery is to decide that there is no mystery to solve.
John Green
The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.
John Green
And as we kept driving north, the whole family in the care together, it got darker, and snowier, until finally the road delivered us to the one place that all my youthful trips west never could: home.
John Green
The phrase booze and mischief left me worrying I'd stumbled into what my mother referred to as the wrong crowd, but for the wrong crowd, they both seemed awfully smart.
John Green
Youth is counted sweetest by those who are no longer young.
John Green
there is no best and no worst, ...those judgments have no real meaning because there is only what is
John Green
What can we do? Mom asked again. I shrugged. But she kept asking, as if there were something she could do, until I just kind of crawled across the couch into her lap and my dad came over and held my legs really tight and I wrapped my arms all the way around my mom's middle and they held on to me for hours while the tide rolled in.
John Green
That's the great thing about being in the third grade. If you've got one polysyllabic adjective, everyone thinks you're a genius.

The Venn Diagram of boys who don’t like smart girls and boys you don’t wanna date is a circle.
John Green
I don't think you're dying, I said. I think you've just got a touch of cancer. He smiled. Gallows humor.
John Green
I know it's impossible for you to see your peers this way, but when you're older, you start to see them--the bad kids and the good kids and all kids--as people. They're just people, who deserve to be cared for.
John Green
It's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.
John Green
I like to know the places I write about. I feel like it helps me ground the novel. My novels are 'realistic novels,' but they can also be fantastical, so it's nice to have a setting that grounds them a little bit.
John Green
Like everyone, I'm saddened and horrified by this. All I'll say is that I'm personally trying to pay more attention to the victims than to their murderer. I certainly will not be mentioning the murderer. I don't think he warrants our attention-particularly since he so clearly wanted it.
John Green
This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
