More quotes by John Green
It's hard to believe in coincidence, but it's even harder to believe in anything else.
John Green
I have a great affection for people who are intellectually engaged with the world, and who don't treat everything superficially. And I think, when people talk about nerdiness, what they're really talking about is smart people who who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.
John Green
One of the reasons that metaphor and symbolism are important in books is because they are also important to life. Like, for example say you're in high school and you're a boy and you say to a girl: Do you like anyone right now? - that's not the question you're asking. The question you're asking is, do you like me right now.
John Green
Compromise is when you do what I tell you and I do what I want. ~Tiny Cooper
John Green
I figured something out. The future is unpredictable.
John Green
I don't have a favourite book, I have hundreds.
John Green
They like their coffee like they like their ex-boyfriends: bitter.
John Green
I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.
John Green
But pizza was originally Italian, although, Italian pizza doesn't taste much like this because this pizza is fortified with sodium. Which is a mineral...or a vitamin. All I know is that it's good for you.
John Green
You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that too much.
John Green
Colin's skin was alive with the feeling of connection to everyone in that car and everyone not in it. And he was feeling not-unique in the very best possible way.
John Green
That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.
John Green
Nothing really mattered that much, not the good things and not the bad ones. We were in the business of mutual amusement, and we were reasonably prosperous.
John Green
Incidentally, did you know that the whole eight glasses a day thing is complete bullshit and has no scientific basis? So many things are like that. Everyone just assumes they're true, because people are basically lazy and incurious, which incidentally is one of those words that sounds like it wouldn't be a word but is.
John Green
These little contradictions are in all of us. They're in me at least. And so I forgot that I had been awake for 30 hours and kept walking, grateful to be a little boat full of water, still floating.
John Green
The beautiful thing about driving was that it stole just enough of his attention - car parked on the side, maybe a cop, slow to speed limit, time to pass this sixteen-wheeler, turn signal, check rearview, crane neck to check blind spot and yes, okay, left lane.
John Green
The marks humans leave are too often scars.
John Green
Different authors write different ways, have different relationships with their audiences, and those are all legitimate.
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.
John Green
I know what happens a the end of falling-landing.
