John Green
But as for me: I must ask the wounded man where he is hurt, because I cannot become the wounded man. The only wounded man I can be is me.
John Green
So why don't you go home for vacations?' I asked her. I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them.
John Green
It was not an eventful day. I should have done extraordinary things. I should have sucked the marrow out of life. But on that day, I slept eighteen hours out of a possible twenty-four.
John Green
