John Green
Even with everything broken and decided inside her she couldn't quite allow herself to disappear for good.
John Green
I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?

I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to.
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
There's no way of knowing that your last good day is Your Last Good Day. At the time, it is just another good day.
John Green
I think forever is an incorrect concept, I answered. He smirked. You're an incorrect concept. I know. That's why I'm being taken out of the rotation.

John Green
One of the others shouted a translation: The beautiful couple is beautiful.
John Green
I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.
John Green
Even if it’s a dumb story, telling it changes people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinetisimal change ripples outward —ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter —maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.
John Green
