I finally found something that can stop the fox. The fox cannot summit Strawberry Hill.” - Takumi
John Green
I just want you to be happy. If that’s with me or with someone else or with nobody. I just want you to be happy.

John Green
It's embarrassing that we all just walk through life blindly accepting that scrambled eggs are fundamentally associated with mornings.
John Green
He wanted to draw out the moment before the moment- because as good as kissing feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it.
John Green
It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.
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.
John Green
And I don’t blame him. I don’t even trust me.
John Green
But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
