John Green
It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
John Green

John Green
It was not an eventful day. I should have done extraordinary things. I should have sucked the marrow out of life. But on that day, I slept eighteen hours out of a possible twenty-four.
John Green
