John Green
You can’t know, sweetie, because you’ve never had a baby become a brilliant young reader with a side interest in horrible television shows, but the joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.
John Green
Love is always a miracle, everywhere,every time. But for us, it's a little different. I don't want to say it's more miraculous,...It is though.
John Green
True love will triumph in the end—which may or may not be a lie, but if it is a lie, it's the most beautiful lie we have.
John Green
I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.
John Green
Miles, as in 'to go before I sleep'?
John Green

John Green
I have to tell you man, that my stalker meter is kind of registering in the red zone right now.
