John Green
You and me will read a book and find three interesting things that we remember. But Colin finds everything intriguing. He reads a book about presidents and he remembers more of it because everything he reads clicks in his head as fugging interesting.
John Green
I was a bit of a Victorian Lady, fainting-wise.
John Green
We acknowledge that being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
John Green
Maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.
John Green

What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
John Green
