It is so hard to leave-until you leave.
John Green
I didn't know what to say to her - I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.
John Green
Nothing's wrong. Everything's right. Things couldn't be righter. Things could be less tired. They could be less busy. They could be less caffeinated. But they couldn't be righter.
John Green
I said nothing—I hadn’t known Marya, and anyway, “listening quietly” was my general social strategy
John Green
You could hear the wind in the leaves, and on that wind traveled the screams of the kids on the playground in the distance, little kids figuring out how to be alive, how to navigate a world that wasn't made for them by navigating a playground that was.

When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.
John Green
I'm a big believer in pairing classics with contemporary literature, so students have the opportunity to see that literature is not a cold, dead thing that happened once but instead a vibrant mode of storytelling that's been with us a long time - and will be with us, I hope, for a long time to come.
John Green
Caroline is no longer sufffering from personhood.
John Green

John Green
And, since they are theater people, they are all talking. All of them. Simultaneously. They do not need to be heard they only need to be speaking.
John Green
That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.
John Green
But you want to see shapes you want to see stories, so you pick them out of the sky.
John Green
But what could I lose by continuing that had not already been lost?
John Green
I thought of the one thing about home that I missed, my dad's study with its built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves sagging with thick biographies and the black leather chair that kept me just uncomfortable enough to keep from feeling sleepy as I read.
John Green
The whole thing was the precise opposite of what I figured it would be: slow and patient and quiet and neither particularly painful nor particularly ecstatic
John Green
Random questions are the least random of all questions.
John Green
What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person.
John Green
And I vaguely remember her smiling at me from the door way the glittering ambiguity of a girls smile, which seems to promise an answer to the question, but never gives it. The question, the one we’ve all been asking since girls stopped being gross, the question that is to simple to be uncomplicated: Does she like me or does she LIKE me?
John Green
