John Green
As I recall, you promised to CALL when you finished the book, not text.
John Green
I pointed at the little kids goading each other to jump from rib cage to shoulder and Gus answered just loud enough for me to hear over the din, 'Last time, I imagined myself as the kid. This time, the skeleton.
John Green
So we gave up. I'd finally had enough of chasing after a ghost who did not want to be seen. We'd failed, maybe, but some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.
John Green
But I could always tell in her eyes if she got really pissed at me, and her eyes were still pretty smiley
John Green
There is no try. There is only do.
