Okay is BURSTING with sensuality
John Green
The dead are visible only in the terrible lidless eye of memory.
John Green
It is so hard to leave-until you leave.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
We gotta do something about this frigging swing set,' he said. 'I'm telling you, it's ninety percent of the problem.

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
We fell. We got up. We ran.
John Green
Here's my answer to the very real existential crisis that grips me midway through everything I've ever tried to do: I think stories help us fight the nihilistic urges that constantly threaten to consume us.

But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ship s sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green

John Green
The only person I really wanted to talk to about Augustus Water's death with was Augustus Waters.
John Green
As I recall, you promised to CALL when you finished the book, not text.
John Green
It's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.
John Green
People are different when you can smell them and look up close, you know?
John Green
See, popularity is complicated. You have to spend a lot of time thinking about liking you have to really like being liked, and also sort like being disliked.
John Green
JP shouted, TELL THEM WHAT YOU JUST DID TO EACH OTHER! Um, I said. We kissed, the Duke said. That's kinda gay, Keun said. I AM A GIRL. Yeah, I know, but so is Tobin, Keun said.
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
I was thinking about this girl you love so much, she said, And this place I love so much. And how that happens. How you can just fall into it.
John Green
You're not going to impose the patriarchal paradigm on me.
John Green
Stupid truth, always resisting simplicity
