Not to ask the obvious question, but why Alaska?
John Green
I thought of the one thing about home that I missed, my dad's study with its built-in, floor-to-ceiling shelves sagging with thick biographies and the black leather chair that kept me just uncomfortable enough to keep from feeling sleepy as I read.
John Green
You used, he said, and then took a sharp breath, to call me Augustus.
John Green
I always felt like you had to be important to have enemies.
John Green
We all matter - maybe less then a lot but always more than none.
John Green
What's that? The laundry basket? No, next to it. I don't see anything next to it. It's my last shred of dignity. It's very small.
John Green
If drunk were cookies, I'd be Famous Amos
John Green
Hurt tends to drown out sorry.
