More quotes by John Green
I’ve stopped thinking about it. I don’t have time to have a girlfriend. I have like a full-time job Learning How to Be Blind.
John Green
I thought of the one thing about home that I missed, my dad's study with its built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves sagging with thick biographies and the black leather chair that kept me just uncomfortable enough to keep from feeling sleepy as I read.

This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.

John Green
Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.
John Green
It's easy to like someone from a distance. But when she stopped being this amazing unattainable thing or whatever, and started being, like, just a regular girl with a weird relationship with food and frequent crankiness wh's kind of bossy--then I had to basically start liking a while different person.

This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die.- Paper Towns
John Green
The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.
John Green
That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.
John Green
It is not my fault that my parents own the world's largest collection of black Santas.
John Green
The past feels distant, even when it's near. The future feels assured, even when it isn't.
John Green
That's how writing works, at least for me: even the stuff that doesn't work out gets funneled into the stuff that does work out.
John Green
I even tried to tell myself to live my best life today.

10-5 space 16-5-14-19-5 space 17-21-5 space 10-5 space 20-1-9-13-5.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?
