Oh, Wikipedia, with your tension between those who would share knowledge and those who would destroy it.
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.'

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
She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.

It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.
John Green
I choose the labyrinth.
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
We're going to get gored to death by a feral fugging hog and your best strategy is to pretend it's a grizzly bear?
John Green
...whatever you're worried about, you're bigger than the worries.
John Green
At least it was instant. At least there wasn't any pain. I knew he was only trying to help, but he didn't get it. There was pain. A dul endless pain in my gut that wouldn't go away even when I knelt on the stingingly frozen tile of the bathroom, dry-heaving.

I love you' really is the gateway drug of breaking up.
John Green
That was part of her, and you used to know it. It's like now you only care about the Alaska you made up.
John Green
what i really want - and what i never get - is to be appreciated. do you know what it’s like to work so hard to make sure everyone’s happy, and to have not a single person recognize it
John Green
