John Green
I told Augustus the broad outline of my miracle: diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer when I was thirteen. (I didn’t tell him that the diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die.)
John Green
Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.
John Green
The funny thing about writing is that whether you're doing well or doing it poorly, it looks the exact same. That's actually one of the main ways that writing is different from ballet dancing.
John Green
We didn't talk much. But we didn't need to.
John Green
Colin's skin was alive with the feeling of connection to everyone in that car and everyone not in it. And he was feeling not-unique in the very best possible way.
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
This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die.- Paper Towns
John Green
When you acknowledge that there is nothing repulsive or unforgivable or shameful about yourself, it becomes easier to be that authentic person and feel like you're living a less performed life.
