There's some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what.
John Green
Life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future.
John Green
Traveling, I am finding, teaches you a lot of things about yourself. For instance, I never thought myself to be the kind of person who pees into a mostly empty bottle of Bluefin energy drink while driving through South Carolina at seventy-seven miles per hour - but in face I am that kind of person.
John Green
I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?
John Green
but there was nothing I could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers

But pizza was originally Italian, although, Italian pizza doesn't taste much like this because this pizza is fortified with sodium. Which is a mineral...or a vitamin. All I know is that it's good for you.

And, since they are theater people, they are all talking. All of them. Simultaneously. They do not need to be heard they only need to be speaking.
John Green
She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.
John Green
But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ship s sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green
Teenagers think they are invincible
John Green
Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of the stars to cross.
John Green
the existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate
John Green
Maybe some people need to believe in a proper and omnipotent God to pray, but I don't.
John Green
The vast majority of us imagine ourselves as like literature people or math people. But the truth is that the massive processor known as the human brain is neither a literature organ or a math organ. It is both and more.
John Green
She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endeavor.
John Green
Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it’s worth.
John Green
In general, watching children's television is a dark and surreal descent into madness where the characters on the screen talk directly to you.
John Green
…God, it’s over. Takumi, you gotta stop stealing other people’s problems and get some of your own.
John Green
This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
John Green
