This is unbearable ... God. These books she'll never read. Her Life's Library.
John Green
Her hair is ridiculous, I said. I know. That was the only thing I said about her that was true. When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back, you know? I mean, there are highlights. And there are streaks. And then there are skunk stripes.
John Green
I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back.
John Green
At least for tonight. In sickness and in health. In good times and in bad. For richer, for poorer. 'Till dawn do us part.
