John Green
Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them, I said. Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.

I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness.

John Green
What's the meaning of life? Other people.
John Green
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
You're awfully philosophical for a girl that just got busted.
John Green
I want to minimize the deaths I am responsible for.
John Green
We're all just facilitators. The real business is done by readers.
John Green
the existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate
John Green
Great news for someone is always bad news for someone else

The true ninja doesn't make a splash at all.
John Green
Me: If you want me to be a teenager, don't send me to Support Group. Buy me a fake ID so I can go to clubs, drink vodka, and take pot. Mom: You don't take pot, for starters. Me: See, that's the kind of thing I'd know if you got me a fake ID.
John Green
So why don't you go home for vacations?' I asked her. I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them.
John Green
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating I know I can never go back. But then what? Do I just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?
