More quotes by John Green
Augustus Waters, I said, looking up at him, thinking that you cannot kiss anyone in the Anne Frank House, and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love.

If people were like rain, I was like drizzle and she was a hurricane.

Incidentally, did you know that the whole eight glasses a day thing is complete bullshit and has no scientific basis? So many things are like that. Everyone just assumes they're true, because people are basically lazy and incurious, which incidentally is one of those words that sounds like it wouldn't be a word but is.

People talk about the courage of cancer patients, and I do not deny that courage. I had been poked and stabbed and poisoned for years, and still I trod on. But make no mistake: In that moment, I would have been very, very happy to die.

John Green
Right, well, he'd been sick for a while and his nurse said to him, 'You seem to be feeling better this morning,' and Isben looked at her and said, 'On the contrary,' and then he died.
John Green
but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever.

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
Our children are weird. Nicely phrased.
John Green
Random questions are the least random of all questions.
John Green
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
The only person I really wanted to talk to about Augustus Water's death with was Augustus Waters.
John Green
Love is tied to truth.
John Green
I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.
John Green
Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway
John Green
He flipped himself onto his side and kissed me. You're so hot, I said, my hand still on his leg. I'm starting to think you have an amputee fetish, he answered, still kissing me. I laughed. I have an Augustus Waters fetish, I explained.
John Green
I don't think ministering requires a religious context. The number one thing is that every parent is extremely worried about their kid. Of course, when a chaplain shows up, that can exacerbate this worry rather than calm it.
John Green
Interesting capitalization,' I said. 'Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalization. The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle.
