John Green

John Green
...it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.
John Green
And then I screwed up and the Colonel screwed up and Takumi screwed up and she slipped through our fingers.
John Green
March 4th, the only day that is also a sentence
John Green
Reading a good book helps us to feel un-alone.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
John Green
I am a giant squid of anger.
John Green
