More quotes by 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.

The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes.
John Green
There's a place in the brain for knowing what cannot be remembered.
John Green
there is no best and no worst, ...those judgments have no real meaning because there is only what is
John Green
For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest was cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way.

John Green
If you don't live a life in service of a greater good, you've gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear that I won't get either a life or a death that means anything.
John Green
My stomach sank. JP had come so close. His immigrant parents had sacrificed so much.
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.
John Green
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
In the contemporary world where things fall apart, and the centre cannot hold, you have to imagine a community where there is no centre. Hank, at the end of this year I started thinking that a lot of life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.
John Green
After all this time, it seems to me like straight and fast is the only way out- but I choose the labyrinth. The labyrinth blows, but I choose it.
John Green
I always had this secret suspicion that I was special.
John Green
The world went on, as it does, without my full participation, and I only woke up from the reverie when someone said my name.
John Green
Entropy increases. Things fall apart.

She said Robert Joyner had killed himself with a gun. And then I asked why, and then she told me that he was getting a divorce and was sad about it.' 'Lots of people get divorces and don't kill themselves,' I said. 'I know,' she said, excitement in her voice. 'That's what I told her.
