More quotes by John Green
Augustus, I said. Really. You don't have to do this. Sure I do, he said. I found my Wish. God, you're the best, I told him. I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel, he answered.
John Green
Cold one day, sweet the next irresistibly flirty one moment, resistibly obnoxious the next.
John Green
I can't be you. You can't be me. You can imagine another well—but never quite perfectly, you know?

One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.

That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.
John Green
Because no one can catch the motherfucking fox.

In our hyper-secular world, worship is still inevitable. But it is vital to remember that our gods don't choose us, we choose them.
John Green
If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.
John Green
The pleasure isn't in doing the thing, the pleasure is in planning it.
John Green
I have two kinds of Facebook friends: Those who know what 'DFTBA' means, and those who don't.
John Green
This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
Worry is yet another side effect of dying.
John Green
The labyrinth blows, but I choose it.

If drunk were cookies, I'd be Famous Amos

Every time I try to set something in Chicago, I get intimidated by 'Augie March.' It's easy to set something in Indianapolis - we don't have 'Augie March' here. But I love writing about Chicago, and I love being there and imagining lives in Chicago. I hope to set something there in the future, but it's intimidating.
