More quotes by John Green
We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations.
John Green
I always had this secret suspicion that I was special.
John Green
I tore open the closet door and began feverishly sorting through the shirts piled on the floor in the vain hope that inside that pile there might be some wondrously perfect shirt down there, a nice and tough but I'm also a surprisingly good listener with a true and abiding passion for cheers and those who lead them.

The book was turned to the page with Anne Frank's name, but what got me about it was the fact that right beneath her name there were four Aron Franks. FOUR. Four Aron Franks without museums, without historical markers, without anyone to mourn them. I silently resolved to remember and pray for the four Aron Franks as long as I was around.
John Green
We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either.
John Green
I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
John Green
You listen to people so that you can imagine them, and you hear all the terrible and wonderful things people do to themselves and to one another, but in the end the listening exposes you even more than it exposes the people you're trying to listen to.
John Green
All salvation is temporary, Augustus shot back. I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.
John Green
Congratulations! You're a woman. Now die.
John Green
All hurt is brain hurt.
John Green
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.
John Green
I mean, he was something that happened to me, you know? But before he was this minor figure in the drama of my life he was - you know, the central figure in the drama of his own life.
John Green
I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don't expect them to like girl movies.
John Green
You may choose your song, but know this: Tiny. Cooper. Hates. Over. The. Rainbow.
John Green
I love you' really is the gateway drug of breaking up.
John Green
When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.
John Green
I was thinking about this girl you love so much, she said, And this place I love so much. And how that happens. How you can just fall into it.
John Green
I knew that I would know more dead people. The bodies pile up. Could there be a space in my memory for each of them, or would I forget a little of Alaska every day for the rest of my life?
John Green
I've never known before what it feels like to want someone - not to want to hook up with them or whatever, but to want them, to want them. And now I do. So maybe I do believe in epiphanies.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
