Hurt tends to drown out sorry.
John Green
We're all just facilitators. The real business is done by readers.
John Green

John Green
It's almost as if the way you imagine my dead self says more about you than it says about either the person I was or the whatever I am now.
John Green
Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does.
John Green
I smiled. She smiled. I believed the smile.
