John Green
I choose the labyrinth.
John Green
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
The United States Congress, like a lot of rich people, lives in two houses.
John Green
I hadn’t read a real series like that since I was a kid, and it was exciting to live again in an infinite fiction.
John Green
Love is just a shout in the void.
John Green
Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them, I said. Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.
John Green
But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.
