More quotes by John Green
I was a fairly shy person - not the hand raising type.
John Green
I will play out the string. I will not betray your trust. I will find you.
John Green
She walks lightly, old man. She walks lightly upon the earth.
John Green
It seems to me that all the things we keep in sealed boxes are both alive and dead until we open the box, that the unobserved is both there and not.
John Green
A paper town for a paper girl.
John Green
I always liked routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring. I doubted I could explain it to someone like Margo but drawing circles through life struck me as a kind of reasonable insanity.
John Green
As lives go, I'll take the quietly desperate over the radically bipolar.

Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Gus knew. Gus knows. I will not tell you our love story, because—like all real love stories—it will die with us, as it should.
John Green

John Green
I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.
John Green
If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.
John Green
Boys do not have the monopoly in Staring Business, after all.
John Green
Easy comfort isn't comforting
John Green
Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them, I said. Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.
John Green
Patients are almost always preceded by their parents, because no matter how fast an ambulance can drive, terrified parents can drive faster.
John Green
feeling - probably for the first time in my life - the fear and excitement of living in a place where you never know what's going to happen or when.
John Green
I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.
John Green
She waited for me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the breadcrumb tail until it dead-ended into her.
John Green
I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.
John Green
In the contemporary world where things fall apart, and the centre cannot hold, you have to imagine a community where there is no centre. Hank, at the end of this year I started thinking that a lot of life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.
