More quotes by John Green
Your friendship with her-it sleeps with the fishes.
John Green
You may choose your song, but know this: Tiny. Cooper. Hates. Over. The. Rainbow.
John Green
weltschmerz: its the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be.
John Green
my lungs sucked at being lungs.
John Green
The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention. The guy who invented the smallpox vaccine didn't actually invent anything. He just noticed that people with cowpox didn't get smallpox.
John Green
And imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
John Green
Meriwether Lewis's last words were, 'I am not a coward, but I am so strong. So hard to die.' I don't doubt that it is, but it cannot be much harder than being left behind.
John Green
Sometimes the way you think about someone isn't the way they actually are.
John Green
Ben's tongue is like sunscreen...It's good for your health and should be applied liberally.
John Green
Compromise is when you do what I tell you and I do what I want. ~Tiny Cooper
John Green
I feel like, like, how you matter is defined by the things that matter to you. You matter as much as the things that matter to you.
John Green
But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.
John Green
When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.
John Green
I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
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
Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
John Green
Worry is yet another side effect of dying.
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
When we think of death, we often imagine it as happening in degrees: We think of a sick person becoming less and less alive until finally they are gone.
John Green
It's embarrassing that we all just walk through life blindly accepting that scrambled eggs are fundamentally associated with mornings.
John Green
