John Green
I smiled. She smiled. I believed the smile.
John Green
Her hair is ridiculous, I said. I know. That was the only thing I said about her that was true. When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back, you know? I mean, there are highlights. And there are streaks.

John Green
I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you.
John Green

John Green
Maybe some people need to believe in a proper and omnipotent God to pray, but I don't.
John Green
