John Green

John Green
How do you just stop being terrified of getting left behind and ending up by yourself forever and not meaning anything to the world?
John Green
I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
John Green
And then it was the kind of dark your eyes never adjust to.
John Green
