John Green
That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence
John Green
Funerals...are for the living.
John Green
Need is never a good basis for any relationship.
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
Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.
John Green
Beware of that monster called 'self-loathing'.
John Green
How will I ever get out of this labyrinth! to a margin note written in her loop-heavy cursive: Straight & Fast.
