John Green
Don't worry. Worry is useless. I worried anyway
John Green
Also, I feel that crying is almost--like, aside from deaths of relatives or whatever-- totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1.Don't care too much. 2. Shut up. Everything unfortunate that has ever happened to me has stemmed from failure to follow one of the rules.
John Green
It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.
John Green
That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.
John Green
Reading a good book helps us to feel un-alone.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
