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. The question, the one we’ve all been asking since girls stopped being gross, the question that is to simple to be uncomplicated: Does she like me or does she LIKE me?

I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed.

John Green
Oh, my god, Augustus said. i can't believe i have a crush on a girl with such cliché wishes. i was thirteen, i said again, although of course i was only thinking crush crush crush crush crush. I was flattered but changed the subject immediately.
John Green
weltschmerz: its the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be.
John Green
It looked like an old painting, but real - everything achingly idyllic in the morning light - and I thought about how wonderfully strange it would be to live in a place where almost everything had been built by the dead.
John Green
The marks humans leave are too often scars.
John Green
If by that you mean that I dislike celebrity magazines, prefer food to anorexia, refuse to watch TV shows about models, and hate the color pink, then yes. I am proud to be not really a girl.
John Green
What matters to you defines your mattering.
John Green
I don't know why boys expect us to like boy movies. We don't expect them to like girl movies.
John Green
That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.
John Green
