John Green
There are times when you just have to let it all out. All the anger, all the pain.
John Green
The easiest way to solve a mystery is to decide that there is no mystery to solve.
John Green
You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.
John Green

John Green
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they've had fewer of them. It's like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
John Green
I was thinking about this girl you love so much, she said, And this place I love so much. And how that happens. How you can just fall into it.
