More quotes by John Green
The true ninja doesn't make a splash at all.
John Green
There's a stark difference between the words 'prodigy' and 'genius.' Prodigies can very quickly learn what other people have already figured out geniuses discover that which no one has ever previously discovered. Prodigies learn geniuses do.

But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
John Green
I'll just go over to the Duke's, I said. Her parents already told me I could stay there. I'll go over there and open all my presents, and talk about how my parents neglect me, and then maybe the Duke will give me some of her presents because she feels so bad about how my mom doesn't love me.

One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.
John Green
You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that too much.

They like their coffee like they like their ex-boyfriends: bitter.

Nerd girls are the world’s most underutilized romantic resource. And guys, do not tell me that nerd girls are not hot because that shows a Paris Hilton-esque failure to understand hotness.
John Green
I’m not up for laughing, but their laughter makes the room feel safer, so we begin to explore.
John Green
There's not even real *popularity* at my school. That, Coli said emphatically, is a sentence that has only ever been spoken by popular people.
John Green
Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does.
John Green
Every time I try to set something in Chicago, I get intimidated by 'Augie March.' It's easy to set something in Indianapolis - we don't have 'Augie March' here. But I love writing about Chicago, and I love being there and imagining lives in Chicago. I hope to set something there in the future, but it's intimidating.
John Green
You had been a paper boy to me all these years - two dimensions as a character on the page and two different, but still flat, dimensions as a person. But that night you turned out to be real.
John Green
You will go to the paper towns and never come back.
John Green
Just spend a few more months playing video games. That hand-eye coordination will come in handy when you get to third base.
John Green
I came here looking for a Great Perhaps, for real friends and a more-than-minor life.
