And I don’t blame him. I don’t even trust me.
John Green
It must be some book, she said as she knelt down next to the bed...Did that boy give it to you? She asked out of nowhere. By 'it' do you mean herpes? You are too much, Mom said, The book, Hazel. I mean the book.
John Green
I knew that I would know more dead people. The bodies pile up. Could there be a space in my memory for each of them, or would I forget a little of Alaska every day for the rest of my life?
John Green
And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you it's something that happens with you.
John Green
Here's to all the places we went. And all the places we'll go. And here's to me, whispering again and again and again and again: iloveyou

I know it's impossible for you to see your peers this way, but when you're older, you start to see them--the bad kids and the good kids and all kids--as people. They're just people, who deserve to be cared for.
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.

Traveling, I am finding, teaches you a lot of things about yourself. For instance, I never thought myself to be the kind of person who pees into a mostly empty bottle of Bluefin energy drink while driving through South Carolina at seventy-seven miles per hour - but in face I am that kind of person.
John Green
Read a lot. Read broadly... Tell stories to your friends, and pay attention to when they get bored... Write a lot.
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
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever pay attention to them and they always love you back.
John Green
I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much.
John Green
A novel is a conversation between a reader and a writer.
John Green
We did a few things worth remembering, and I wish for someone to remember them.
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 was not an adventure, she was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
Ya gotta live somewhere, but also you GET to live somewhere.
John Green
We acknowledge that being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
John Green
I always had this secret suspicion that I was special.
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.
