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
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?
