More quotes by John Green
Our children are weird. Nicely phrased.
John Green
I stand in this parking lot, realizing that I’ve never been this far from home, and here is this girl I love and cannot follow. I hope this is the hero’s errand, because not following her is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
John Green
Some people have lives some people have music.
John Green
The true ninja doesn't make a splash at all.
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
So why don't you go home for vacations?' I asked her. I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them.
John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green
Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you? But I always wonder about that. If people could see me the way I see myself—if they could live in my memories—would anyone, anyone, love me?
John Green
And how are you feeling? asked Patrick.Oh, I'm grand. Augustus Waters smiled with a corner of his mouth. I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend.
John Green
You used, he said, and then took a sharp breath, to call me Augustus.
John Green
It's not fair, I said. It's just so goddamned unfair. The world, he said, is not a wishgranting factory.
John Green
I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don't expect them to like girl movies.
John Green
At the end, we brought her to New York, where I was living, for a series of experimental tortures that increased the misery of her days without increasing the number of them.
John Green
Maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.
John Green
I don't see any point in nihilism... just as I suppose the nihilist sees no point in everything else.
John Green
I knew that I would know more dead people. The bodies pile up. Could there be a space in my memory for each of them, or would I forget a little of Alaska every day for the rest of my life?
John Green
The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.
John Green
It is worth it to leave behing my minor life for grander maybes.
John Green
The internet is necessarily public. It can be filtered-public or censored-public, but it necessarily has to be open and available.
John Green
What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person.
