More quotes by John Green
My stomach sank. JP had come so close. His immigrant parents had sacrificed so much.
John Green
A small olive-skinned creature who had hit puberty but never hit it very hard, Ben had been my best friend since fifth grade, when we both finally owned up to the fact that neither of us was likely to attract anyone else as a best friend.
John Green
I didn't even know what the feeling was, really, just that there was a lot of it.
John Green
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
But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ship s sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green
So we gave up. I'd finally had enough of chasing after a ghost who did not want to be seen. We'd failed, maybe, but some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.
John Green
This is unbearable ... God. These books she'll never read. Her Life's Library.
John Green
Without pain, we couldn't know joy.
John Green
I will play out the string. I will not betray your trust. I will find you.
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
I don't know where people got the idea that characters in books are supposed to be likable. Books are not in the business of creating merely likeable characters with whom you can have some simple identification with. Books are in the business of creating great stories that make you're brain go ahhbdgbdmerhbergurhbudgerbudbaaarr.
John Green
We all matter - maybe less then a lot but always more than none.
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 don't even know how ugly and pretty get decided.
John Green
Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them.
John Green
That's absolutely true, about the eight glasses a day. There's no reason whatsoever to drink eight glasses of water a day unless you, for whatever reason, particularly like the taste of water. Most experts agree that unless there's something horribly wrong with you, you should just drink water whenever you're - get this - thirsty.
John Green
Different authors write different ways, have different relationships with their audiences, and those are all legitimate.
John Green
He told me this while ripping through his duffel bag, throwing clothes into drawers with reckless abandon. Chip did not believe in having a sock drawer or a T-shirt drawer. He believed that all drawers were created equal and filled each with whatever fit. My mother would have died.
John Green
Our lives are composed of a finite set of moments that we choose how to spend.
John Green
It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.
John Green
