I can't imagine us saying these things to each other out loud. But even if I can't imagine hearing these words, I can imagine living them. I don't even picture it. Instead I'm in it. How I would feel with him here. That peace. It would be so happy, and it makes me sad because it only exists in words.

John Green
It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
John Green
It's nice to have people who will feel guilty for you.
John Green
Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them.
John Green
I said nothing—I hadn’t known Marya, and anyway, “listening quietly” was my general social strategy
John Green
No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.
John Green
She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth.
John Green
That's what we should do, Hazel Grace: We should team up and be this disabled vigilante duo roaring through the world, righting wrongs, defending the weak, protecting the endangered.
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
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.
John Green
As a child I was an inveterate liar. As opposed to now, I am a Novelist.
John Green
