John Green
Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.

John Green
Love is tied to truth.
John Green

John Green
Go spit in the face of our inevitable obsolescence and finish your @#$&ng novel.
John Green
I like to know the places I write about. I feel like it helps me ground the novel. My novels are 'realistic novels,' but they can also be fantastical, so it's nice to have a setting that grounds them a little bit.
John Green
Remember that time in the minivan, twenty minutes ago, when we didn't die?
John Green
Chuck Parson did not participate in organized sports, because to do so would distract from his larger goal of his life: to one day be convicted of murder
John Green
I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you.
John Green
I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.
John Green
It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you.
John Green
And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future—you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.
John Green
