No headboards were broken.
John Green
The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory.
John Green
What can we do? Mom asked again. I shrugged. But she kept asking, as if there were something she could do, until I just kind of crawled across the couch into her lap and my dad came over and held my legs really tight and I wrapped my arms all the way around my mom's middle and they held on to me for hours while the tide rolled in.
John Green
Life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future.
John Green
And I put the latte down on a table, awash in the happy middle of my greatest adventure.
John Green
You had been a paper boy to me all these years - two dimensions as a character on the page and two different, but still flat, dimensions as a person. But that night you turned out to be real.
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
Remember that time in the minivan, twenty minutes ago, when we didn't die?
John Green
Everything's uglier close up, she said. Not you, I answered.

All of us, poor & rich alike, have been conditioned by our upbringings. Impoverished men & women may become lulled into a state of learned helplessness without hope to change their lives. Likewise, the wealthy can walk in a state of learned blindness ignoring the desperation of the local & global poor.
John Green
I have guts, just not when it counts.
John Green
Even if it’s a dumb story, telling it changes people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinetisimal change ripples outward —ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter —maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.
John Green
Your friendship with her-it sleeps with the fishes.
John Green
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they've had fewer of them. It's like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
John Green
And then it was the kind of dark your eyes never adjust to.
John Green
Where do you come up with these zingers, Clint? Do you own some kind of joke factory in Indonesia where you've got eight-year-olds working ninety hours a week to deliver you that kind of top-quality witticism? There are boy bands with more original material.
John Green
It's not life or death, the labyrinth. Suffering. Doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you.
John Green
It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.
John Green
Maybe some people need to believe in a proper and omnipotent God to pray, but I don't.
John Green
The things I would do to that boy. I mean, not now that I know you're interested in him. But, oh, sweet holy Lord, I would ride that one-legged pony all the way around the corral. Kaitlyn, I said. Sorry. Do you think you'd have to be on top? Kaitlyn, I said.
