John Green
He wanted to draw out the moment before the moment- because as good as kissing feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it.
John Green
That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.
John Green
It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.
John Green
I think that most of us [writers] would rather have an audience than countless riches. If we wanted to be rich, we'd be doing smething else.
John Green

John Green
The fundamental mistake I had always made - and that she had, in fairness, always led me to make - was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
That's why those tapes we made are going to be so great one day, because they'll tell stories that time has swallowed up or distorted or whatever.
John Green
The only person I really wanted to talk to about Augustus Water's death with was Augustus Waters.
John Green
