John Green
I am a giant squid of anger.
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
That's the great thing about being in the third grade. If you've got one polysyllabic adjective, everyone thinks you're a genius.
John Green
And he was feeling not-unique in the very best possible way.
John Green
You are so busy being YOU that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.
John Green
My stomach sank. JP had come so close. His immigrant parents had sacrificed so much.
John Green
Is the labyrinth living or dying?
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?
John Green
