More quotes by John Green
I choose the labyrinth.
John Green
Home is Where the Heart Is, Good Friends Are Hard to Find and Impossible to Forget. True Love is Born from Hard Times.
John Green
People are supposed to care. It's good that people mean something to you, that you miss people when they're gone.
John Green
I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.
John Green

John Green
They belong to their readers now, which is a great thing–because the books are more powerful in the hands of my readers than they could ever be in my hands.
John Green

John Green
Suffering is universal.
John Green
Some people have lives some people have music.
John Green
Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.
John Green
I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.
John Green
... I didn't know whether to feel angry at her for making me part of her suicide or just to feel angry at myself for letting her go.
John Green
Anyway, that was the last good day I had with Gus until the Last Good Day.
John Green
I kept thinking there were two kinds of adults: There were...miserable creatures who scoured the earth in search of something to hurt. And then there were people like my parents, who walked around zombically, doing whatever they had to do to keep walking around.
John Green
Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
John Green
And I vaguely remember her smiling at me from the door way the glittering ambiguity of a girls smile, which seems to promise an answer to the question, but never gives it.
