In the end the listening exposes you even more than it exposes the people you're trying to listen to.
John Green
You are so busy being YOU that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.
John Green
I wondered if there would ever be a day when I didn't think about Alaska, wondered whether I should hope for a time when she would be a distant memory - recalled only on the anniversary of her death, or maybe a couple of weeks after, remembering only after having forgotten.
John Green
I know it's impossible for you to see your peers this way, but when you're older, you start to see them--the bad kids and the good kids and all kids--as people. They're just people, who deserve to be cared for.
John Green
If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone love me?
John Green
I have an Augustus Waters fetish.
John Green
Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
John Green
Maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive.
John Green
Will Grayson, Will Grayson' is about two guys named Will Grayson who live in different Chicago suburbs who eventually meet each other.
John Green
He just waited until I stopped talking and said, 'Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives. So what's your theory?
John Green
He told me this while ripping through his duffel bag, throwing clothes into drawers with reckless abandon. Chip did not believe in having a sock drawer or a T-shirt drawer. He believed that all drawers were created equal and filled each with whatever fit. My mother would have died.
John Green
We left. We did not say: Don't drive, You're drunk. We did not say: We aren't letting you in that car when you are upset. We did not say: We insist on going with you. We did not say: This can wait until tomorrow. Anything-everything-can wait.
John Green
Some people have lives some people have music.
John Green
The amazing thing is that we're right to hold onto hope. The world may be broken but hope is not crazy.
John Green
So I let her go, too. And I'm sorry.
John Green
I didn't know what to say to her - I was caught in a love triangle with one dead side.
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
Something invisible snapped inside her.
John Green
Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.
John Green
All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.
John Green
