More quotes by John Green
Because you're only thinking they-might-not-like-me-they-might-not-like-me, and guess what? When you act like that, no one likes you.
John Green
I realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and I thought, God we must look so lame, but it doesn't matter much when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.
John Green

John Green
Colder by the hour, more dead with every breath.

The challenge is the same whether or not I'm collaborating: to empathize with your reader and to tell a story that will matter to him or her. But the mechanics of going about that challenge change when you're collaborating, because you have someone to help refine your thinking and expand your vision of what might happen.

One of the jobs of a writer is to add nuance and ambiguity to that straight line that people often draw to very specific kinds of heroism. Most of us don't get to be Snooki. For most of us heroism has to be in our everyday lives.
John Green
Our children are weird. Nicely phrased.
John Green
I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
John Green
The past feels distant, even when it's near. The future feels assured, even when it isn't.
John Green
I don't even know how ugly and pretty get decided.
John Green
My head was level with hers as we stared at each other from opposite sides of the glass. I don't remember how it ended - if I went to bed or she did. In my memory, it doesn't end. We just stay there, looking at each other, forever.
John Green
Colin did not laugh. Instead he thought, Tampons have strings? Why? Of all the major human mysteries - God, the nature of the universe, etc. - he knew the least about tampons. To Colin, tampons were a little bit like grizzly bears: he was aware of their existence, but he'd never seen on in the wild, and didn't really care to.
John Green
Margo's beauty was a kind of sealed vessel of perfection--uncracked and uncrackable.
John Green
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
This was what I liked most about my friends: just sitting around & telling stories.
John Green
I was born into Bolívar's labyrinth, and so I must believe in the hope of Rabelais' Great Perhaps.
