More quotes by John Green
And then the line was quite but not dead. I almost felt like he was there in my room with me, but in a way it was better, like I was not in my room and he was not in his, but instead we were together in some invisible and tenuous third space that could only be visited on the phone.

John Green
Ashes to ashes. Garage sale to garage sale,” I said.
John Green
Barnacles on the container ship of consciousness.
John Green
I wondered if there would ever be a day when I didn't think about Alaska, wondered whether I should hope for a time when she would be a distant memory - recalled only on the anniversary of her death, or maybe a couple of weeks after, remembering only after having forgotten.
John Green
But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does.
John Green
Oh, my god, Augustus said. i can't believe i have a crush on a girl with such cliché wishes. i was thirteen, i said again, although of course i was only thinking crush crush crush crush crush. I was flattered but changed the subject immediately.
John Green
She left me enough to rediscover the Great Perhaps.
John Green
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
I do love you and what else matters but that
John Green
I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type.
John Green
