Even if it’s a dumb story, telling it changes people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinetisimal change ripples outward —ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter —maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

John Green
The labyrinth blows, but I choose it.
John Green
Have you really read all those books in your room?” Alaska laughing- “Oh God no. I’ve maybe read a third of ‘em. But I’m going to read them all. I call it my Life’s Library. Every summer since I was little, I’ve gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting. So I always have something to read.

Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.
John Green
My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves.
John Green
I kept thinking there were two kinds of adults: There were...miserable creatures who scoured the earth in search of something to hurt. And then there were people like my parents, who walked around zombically, doing whatever they had to do to keep walking around.
John Green
And then something invisible snapped insider her, and that which had come together commenced to fall apart.
John Green
It was an indulgence, learning last words. Other people had chocolate I had dying declarations.
John Green
