We're invisible. I've never been here with someone else. It's different being invisible with someone.
John Green
Tiny Cooper is not the world's gayest person, and he is not the world's largest person, but I believe he may be the world's largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world's gayest person who is really, really large.

I have a great affection for people who are intellectually engaged with the world, and who don't treat everything superficially. And I think, when people talk about nerdiness, what they're really talking about is smart people who who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.

John Green
me: you know what sucks about love? o.w.g.: what? me: that it's so tied to the truth. I know it sucks, but in a way, it's good....Love and truth being tied together, I mean. They make each other possible, you know?
John Green
You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.
John Green
It's embarrassing that we all just walk through life blindly accepting that scrambled eggs are fundamentally associated with mornings.
John Green
All of us, poor & rich alike, have been conditioned by our upbringings. Impoverished men & women may become lulled into a state of learned helplessness without hope to change their lives. Likewise, the wealthy can walk in a state of learned blindness ignoring the desperation of the local & global poor.

My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.

but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever.
John Green
Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of the stars to cross.
John Green
But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail

Nothing's wrong. Everything's right. Things couldn't be righter. Things could be less tired. They could be less busy. They could be less caffeinated. But they couldn't be righter.
John Green
Even with everything broken and decided inside her she couldn't quite allow herself to disappear for good.
