John Green

John Green
All hurt is brain hurt.
John Green
To be human is to catch the falling person.
John Green
I can't imagine us saying these things to each other out loud. But even if I can't imagine hearing these words, I can imagine living them. I don't even picture it. Instead I'm in it. How I would feel with him here. That peace. It would be so happy, and it makes me sad because it only exists in words.
John Green
I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.
John Green
depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying.
John Green
Something invisible snapped inside her.
John Green
But what could I lose by continuing that had not already been lost?
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
