More quotes by John Green
High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.
John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green
Love is tied to truth.
John Green
We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations.
John Green
Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.
John Green
You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
Need is never a good basis for any relationship.
John Green

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

John Green
But monotony doesn't make for painlessness.
John Green
People will say it's sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely. But it's not sad, Van Houten. It's triumphant. It's heroic. Isn't that the real heroism? Like the doctors say: First, do no harm.
John Green
I tried--I swear I tried. But you didn't want to hear what I was saying, and I used that as an excuse to let it go on.
John Green
She cannot possibly be dead, people do not just die
John Green
I think forever is an incorrect concept, I answered. He smirked. You're an incorrect concept. I know. That's why I'm being taken out of the rotation.
John Green
Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it’s worth.
John Green
But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does.
John Green
But it is a pipe. No, it's not, I said. It's a drawing of a pipe. Get it? All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. It's very clever.
John Green
