More quotes by John Green
I was not religious, but I liked rituals. I liked the idea of connecting an action with remembering.
John Green
Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.
John Green

The things I would do to that boy. I mean, not now that I know you're interested in him. But, oh, sweet holy Lord, I would ride that one-legged pony all the way around the corral. Kaitlyn, I said. Sorry. Do you think you'd have to be on top? Kaitlyn, I said.

John Green
Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will, she says. The sky is like a monochromatic contemporary painting, drawing me in with its illusion of depth, pulling me up. Yeah, that's true, I say. But then after I think about it for a second, I add, But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all.
John Green
A small olive-skinned creature who had hit puberty but never hit it very hard, Ben had been my best friend since fifth grade, when we both finally owned up to the fact that neither of us was likely to attract anyone else as a best friend.
John Green
When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.
John Green
There is a part of her greater than the sum of her knowable parts. And that part has to go somewhere, because it cannot be destroyed.
John Green
I think if you went back to the eighteenth century and you asked a fifteen year old boy, 'Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?', that fifteen year old boy would probably be like, 'what's plastic?'.
John Green
And then something invisible snapped insider her, and that which had come together commenced to fall apart.
John Green
I always liked routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring.
John Green
The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory.
John Green
Everybody was so kind. Strong, too. In the darkest days, the Lord puts the best people into your life. Quick, give me a throw pillow and some thread because that needs to be an Encouragement.
John Green
