John Green
But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
John Green
I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type.
John Green
I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.
John Green
No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can't go all the way around.
John Green
dating you would be like a series of unnecessary root canals interspersed with occasional makeout sessions.
John Green
Did I help you toward a fate you didn't want, Alaska, or did I just assist in your willful self-destruction?
John Green
Videogame players essentially choose whether to win the game or to die heroically. There's a certain glory in both.
John Green
Compromise is when you do what I tell you and I do what I want. ~Tiny Cooper
