This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed.

All hurt is brain hurt.
John Green
But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail
John Green
Nothing really ever happens like you imagine it will.

I'm not from Indianapolis, but I like living in Indianapolis. If I were to explain it, I'd tell someone to imagine a city that perfectly captures the best and the worst of America. Imagine the truly American city, because that's what it is.
John Green
I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.
John Green

John Green
