What do you mean by meant? Given the final futility of our struggle, is the fleeting jolt of meaning that art gives us valuable? Or is it the only value passing time as comfortably as possible?

More quotes by John Green
She's cute, I thought, but you don't need to like a girl who treats you like you're ten: You've already got a mom.
John Green
She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.
John Green
So I let her go, too. And I'm sorry.
John Green
And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future—you go to high school so you can go to college so you can get a good job so you can get a nice house so you can afford to send your kids to college so they can get a good job so they can get a nice house so they can afford to send their kids to college.

I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
John Green
I'm not interested in writing for adults. I like them as people! I don't like the way they publish books in that world. Nothing ever gets a chance.
John Green
I could stand up and go to her and kiss her. I could. But there is still too much to be ruined.
John Green
I've gotten really hot since you went blind.
John Green
Like everyone, I'm saddened and horrified by this. All I'll say is that I'm personally trying to pay more attention to the victims than to their murderer. I certainly will not be mentioning the murderer. I don't think he warrants our attention-particularly since he so clearly wanted it.
John Green
I know what happens a the end of falling-landing.
John Green
Just spend a few more months playing video games. That hand-eye coordination will come in handy when you get to third base.
John Green
Talking to a drunk person was like talking to an extremely happy, severely brain-damaged three-year-old.
John Green
I don't decide where I live. My wife decides. She's a curator of contemporary art, and she works at an art museum, so we go wherever she has a job. All basements look the same, so I can write from whatever basement I happen to be living in.
