More quotes by John Green
Study broadly and without fear.
John Green
I was thinking about this girl you love so much, she said, And this place I love so much. And how that happens. How you can just fall into it.
John Green
If I could do it all over again, he said, his speech slow and vaguely mangled by his massive lower lip, I'd just let myself be trampled to death by the Satan Pig.
John Green
Suffering is universal.
John Green
but there was nothing I could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers
John Green
We acknowledge that being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
John Green
I can almost imagine a happiness without her, the ability to let her go, to feel our roots are connected even if I never see that leaf of grass again.'
John Green
He puts the killing thing in his mouth but doesn't give it the power to kill him.
John Green
It's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.
John Green
Tiny Cooper is not the world's gayest person, and he is not the world's largest person, but I believe he may be the world's largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world's gayest person who is really, really large.
John Green
There's no reason whatsoever to drink eight glasses of water a day unless you, for whatever reason, particularly like the taste of water
John Green
She left me enough to rediscover the Great Perhaps.
John Green
You're awfully philosophical for a girl that just got busted.
John Green
I can't remember, because I never knew.
John Green

John Green
All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.
John Green
People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn't bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn't bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn't even imagine themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to.
John Green
We were just looking at ideas of each other.
John Green
People are supposed to care. It's good that people mean something to you, that you miss people when they're gone.
John Green
One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.
John Green
