More quotes by John Green
Have you really read all those books in your room?” Alaska laughing- “Oh God no. I’ve maybe read a third of ‘em. But I’m going to read them all. I call it my Life’s Library. Every summer since I was little, I’ve gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting. So I always have something to read.

Books belong to their readers.

The last time I was this scared, I peed myself. The last time I was this scared, Radar says, I actually had to face a Dark Lord in order to make the world safe for wizards.

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.

Incidentally, did you know that the whole eight glasses a day thing is complete bullshit and has no scientific basis? So many things are like that. Everyone just assumes they're true, because people are basically lazy and incurious, which incidentally is one of those words that sounds like it wouldn't be a word but is.
John Green
So why don't you go home for vacations?' I asked her. I'm just scared of ghosts, Pudge. And home is full of them.

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.
