John Green
I always had this secret suspicion that I was special.
John Green
Nostalgia is inevitably a yearning for a past that never existed and when I'm writing, there are no bees to sting me out of my sentimentality. For me at least, fiction is the only way I can even begin to twist my lying memories into something true.

John Green
At least for tonight. In sickness and in health. In good times and in bad. For richer, for poorer. 'Till dawn do us part.
John Green
Sometimes the way you think about someone isn't the way they actually are.
John Green
Ma'am, Augustus said, nodding toward her, Your daughter's car has just been deservingly egged by a blind man. Please close the door and go back inside or we'll be forced to call the police.
John Green
You were clearly not doing your part in the clover search, perv.
John Green
Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last the last shall be first the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.
John Green
That was part of her, and you used to know it. It's like now you only care about the Alaska you made up.
John Green
