John Green

John Green
There are times when you just have to let it all out. All the anger, all the pain.
John Green
Everybody was so kind. Strong, too. In the darkest days, the Lord puts the best people into your life. Quick, give me a throw pillow and some thread because that needs to be an Encouragement.
John Green
Oh, Wikipedia, with your tension between those who would share knowledge and those who would destroy it.

In our hyper-secular world, worship is still inevitable. But it is vital to remember that our gods don't choose us, we choose them.

And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you it's something that happens with you.
John Green
You can't just make me different and then leave. You can't. You can't change me and make my whole life centered around you, then leave.
John Green
I always liked routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring. I doubted I could explain it to someone like Margo but drawing circles through life struck me as a kind of reasonable insanity.
John Green
Bro, it's dark. You can't go to a strange building with a mysterious address in the dark. Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?
John Green
It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you.
John Green
I stand in this parking lot, realizing that I’ve never been this far from home, and here is this girl I love and cannot follow. I hope this is the hero’s errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
John Green
Ashes to ashes. Garage sale to garage sale,” I said.
John Green
I've gotten really hot since you went blind.
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.
John Green
but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever.
John Green
One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.
John Green
