More quotes by John Green
But mothers lie. It's in the job description.
John Green
But it was sure a privilege to love him, huh? I nodded into his shirt. Gives you an idea how I feel about you, he said. My old man. He always knew just what to say.
John Green
I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.
John Green
I even tried to tell myself to live my best life today.
John Green
But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.
John Green
You're not boring. You've got to stop saying that, or people will start believing you.
John Green
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating I know I can never go back. But then what? Do I just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?
John Green
I make a gesture that is intended to convey, Hey, no hurry, talk as long as you'd like, and probably actually conveys, Hey, look at me! I have spastic hands.
John Green
He just waited until I stopped talking and said, 'Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives. So what's your theory?
John Green
I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.
John Green
The idea is that for ten minutes, we forget that we have feelings. And we forget about protecting ourselves or other people and we just say the truth. For ten minutes. And then we can go back to being lame.
John Green
What's your name ? Hazel . No , your full name . Um , Hazel Grace Lancaster .
John Green
Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.
John Green
Her library filled her bookshelves and then overflowed into waist-high stacks of books everywhere, piled haphazardly against the walls. If just one of them moved... the domino effect could engulf the three of us in an asphyxiating mass of literature.
John Green
If I could do it all over again, he said, his speech slow and vaguely mangled by his massive lower lip, I'd just let myself be trampled to death by the Satan Pig.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
She left me enough to rediscover the Great Perhaps.
John Green
Did I help you to a fate you didn't want?
John Green
You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
John Green
I didn't know what to say to her - I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.
John Green
