John Green
All salvation is temporary
John Green
The minister said, “Let us pray,” but as everyone else bowed their head, I could only stare slack-jawed at the sight of Peter Van Houten. After a moment, he whispered, “We gotta fake pray,” and bowed his head.
John Green
She's cute, I thought, but you don't need to like a girl who treats you like you're ten: You've already got a mom.
John Green
I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type.
John Green
Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.
