Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
I'm not from Indianapolis, but I like living in Indianapolis. If I were to explain it, I'd tell someone to imagine a city that perfectly captures the best and the worst of America. Imagine the truly American city, because that's what it is.

The ideas of directing attention outward, trying to imagine other people complexly, trying not to see myself as the center of the universe - these concepts have become important to me, and I hope they're at work in my life on a minute-by-minute basis.
John Green
They belong to their readers now, which is a great thing–because the books are more powerful in the hands of my readers than they could ever be in my hands.

John Green
He responded a few minutes later. Okay. I wrote back. Okay. He responded: Oh, my God, stop flirting with me!
John Green
I love making YouTube videos. I love Tumblr, I love Twitter. I love talking with people I find interesting about stuff I find interesting, and the Internet is a great way to do that.
John Green
. . . Endlessness is a really strange idea in a universe that is defined by its endings.
John Green
A small olive-skinned creature who had hit puberty but never hit it very hard, Ben had been my best friend since fifth grade, when we both finally owned up to the fact that neither of us was likely to attract anyone else as a best friend.
John Green
But you know what they say about Gutshot: the population never goes up and never goes down, because every time a woman gets pregnant, a man leaves town.
John Green
And yet still I worried. I like being a person. I wanted to keep at it. Worry is yet another side effect of dying.
John Green
I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don't expect them to like girl movies.
John Green
The pleasure isn't in doing the thing, the pleasure is in planning it.
