The Colonel led all the cheers. Cornbread! he screamed. CHICKEN! the crowd responded. Rice! PEAS! And then, all together: WE GOT HIGHER SATs. Hip Hip Hip Hooray! the Colonel cried. YOU'LL BE WORKIN' FOR US SOMEDAY!
John Green

John Green
There's no reason whatsoever to drink eight glasses of water a day unless you, for whatever reason, particularly like the taste of water
John Green

John Green
Pudge, my friend, we are indefuckingstructible.
John Green
Depression is a side effect of dying. (Almost everything is, really).
John Green
maybe she'd been scared of being paralyzed by fear again.
John Green
I want to minimize the deaths I am responsible for.
John Green
I felt the unfairness of it, the inarguable injustice of loving someone who might have loved you back but can't due to deadness.
John Green
The fundamental mistake I had always made - and that she had, in fairness, always led me to make - was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
I hate the idea that, when it comes to books and learning, hard is often seen as the opposite of fun. It's strange to me that we should be so quick to give up on a book or a math problem when we are so willing to grapple, for centuries if necessary, with a single level of Angry Birds.
John Green
There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it.
John Green
