John Green
And he found himself thinking that maybe stories don't just make us matter to each other - maybe they're also the only way to the infinite mattering he'd been after for so long.
John Green
You're amazing, and I so want to be your boyfriend, because of what you just said, and also because that shirt makes me want to take you home and do unspeakable things while we watch live-action Sailor Moon videos
John Green
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.

I think if you went back to the eighteenth century and you asked a fifteen year old boy, 'Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?', that fifteen year old boy would probably be like, 'what's plastic?'.
John Green
She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endeavor.
John Green
Eternity bids thee to forget.
John Green
Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs.
John Green
The fundamental mistake I had always made - and that she had, in fairness, always led me to make - was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
I tried--I swear I tried. But you didn't want to hear what I was saying, and I used that as an excuse to let it go on.
John Green
I hope we get pulled over, he says. I'd like to see how the cop responds to a black man wearing a Confederate T-shirt over a black dress.
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
weltschmerz: its the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be.
John Green
We can hear others, and we can travel with them without moving, and we can imagine them, and we are all connected one to the other by a crazy root system, like so many leaves of grass. But the game makes me wonder wheter we can really ever fully become another.
John Green
But monotony doesn't make for painlessness.
