Caroline was always moody and miserable, but I liked it. I liked feeling as if she had chosen me as the only person in the world not to hate, and so we spent all this time together just ragging on everyone, you know?

One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life.

The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.

I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.

I'll just go over to the Duke's, I said. Her parents already told me I could stay there. I'll go over there and open all my presents, and talk about how my parents neglect me, and then maybe the Duke will give me some of her presents because she feels so bad about how my mom doesn't love me.

It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.

A novel is a conversation between a reader and a writer.
John Green
It doesn’t matter how long we’ve used something all that matters is how awesome the thing replacing it is. MP3s and automobiles happen to be really, really awesome, whereas ebooks—at least so far—are fairly limited in their awesomeness.

I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.
