I have an Augustus Waters fetish.

Every time I try to set something in Chicago, I get intimidated by 'Augie March.' It's easy to set something in Indianapolis - we don't have 'Augie March' here. But I love writing about Chicago, and I love being there and imagining lives in Chicago. I hope to set something there in the future, but it's intimidating.

It's easy to like someone from a distance. But when she stopped being this amazing unattainable thing or whatever, and started being, like, just a regular girl with a weird relationship with food and frequent crankiness wh's kind of bossy--then I had to basically start liking a while different person.

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.

No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.

John Green
The truth is that in our lives we are all going to encounter questions that should be answered, that deserve to be answered, and yet prove unanswerable.
John Green
My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.
John Green
I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.
John Green
The whole thing was the precise opposite of what I figured it would be: slow and patient and quiet and neither particularly painful nor particularly ecstatic
John Green
weltschmerz: its the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be.
John Green
I told myself – as I’ve told myself before – that the body shuts down when the pain gets too bad, that consciousness is temporary, that this will pass. But just like always, I didn’t slip away. I was left on the shore with the waves washing over me, unable to drown.
John Green
Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway
John Green
The human tongue is like wasabi: it's very powerful, and should be used sparingly.
John Green
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever pay attention to them and they always love you back.
John Green
But pizza was originally Italian, although, Italian pizza doesn't taste much like this because this pizza is fortified with sodium. Which is a mineral...or a vitamin. All I know is that it's good for you.

I said nothing—I hadn’t known Marya, and anyway, “listening quietly” was my general social strategy
