More quotes by John Green
Witness also that when we talk about literature, we do so in the present tense. When we speak of the dead, we are not so kind.
John Green
We are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be.
John Green
I have a great affection for people who are intellectually engaged with the world, and who don't treat everything superficially. And I think, when people talk about nerdiness, what they're really talking about is smart people who who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.
John Green
Did I help you to a fate you didn't want?
John Green
In the first century CE, Roman authorities punished St. Apollonia by crushing her teeth one by one with pliers. Colin often thought about this in relationship to the monotony of dumping: we have thirty-two teeth. After a while, having each tooth individually destroyed probably gets repetitive, even dull. But it never stops hurting.

She was not an adventure, she was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
She's just playing a trick on us. This is just an Alaska Young Prank Extraordinaire. It's Alaska being Alaska, funny and playful and not knowing when or how to put on the brakes.
John Green
When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back.
John Green
That's how writing works, at least for me: even the stuff that doesn't work out gets funneled into the stuff that does work out.
John Green
In our hyper-secular world, worship is still inevitable. But it is vital to remember that our gods don't choose us, we choose them.
John Green
It's so easy to get stuck. You just get caught in being something, being special or cool or whatever, to the point where you don't even know why you need it you just think you do.
John Green
That smile could end wars and cure cancer.
John Green
I'm a grenade, I just want to stay away from people and read books, and think.
John Green
Okay is BURSTING with sensuality
John Green
But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to each of us.
John Green
The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture.
John Green
You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.
John Green
I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.
John Green
If I could do it all over again, he said, his speech slow and vaguely mangled by his massive lower lip, I'd just let myself be trampled to death by the Satan Pig.
John Green
Nerdighters make me believe in America again.
