My love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity, ~ Hazel Lancaster.
John Green
Colin emphatically pushed the book cover shut when he finished reading. Did you like it? His dad asked. Yup, Colin said. He liked all books, because he liked the mere act of reading, the magic of turning scratches on a page into words inside his head.
John Green
Lies are attempts to hide the truth by willfully denying facts. Fiction, on the other hand, is an attempt to reveal the truth by ignoring facts.
John Green
I mean, he was something that happened to me, you know? But before he was this minor figure in the drama of my life he was - you know, the central figure in the drama of his own life.
John Green
You had been a paper boy to me all these years - two dimensions as a character on the page and two different, but still flat, dimensions as a person. But that night you turned out to be real.
John Green
You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.
John Green
Love is just a shout in the void.
John Green
I have two kinds of Facebook friends: Those who know what 'DFTBA' means, and those who don't.
John Green
Without pain, we couldn't know joy.
John Green
But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ship s sink, or maybe we're grass--our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word - forever - and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage.
John Green
The beautiful thing about driving was that it stole just enough of his attention - car parked on the side, maybe a cop, slow to speed limit, time to pass this sixteen-wheeler, turn signal, check rearview, crane neck to check blind spot and yes, okay, left lane.
John Green
I just want the pleasure of noticing these things at a safe distance.
John Green
Sometimes the way you think about someone isn't the way they actually are.
John Green
And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened. And the second moral of the story, if a story can have multiple morals, is that Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees - breaking up isn't something that gets done to you it's something that happens with you.
John Green
That feeling of finishedness does not come all at once, and it is not easily won, but I think once you get there it is hard to go back.
John Green
In the contemporary world where things fall apart, and the centre cannot hold, you have to imagine a community where there is no centre. Hank, at the end of this year I started thinking that a lot of life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.
John Green
That didn’t happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined them.
John Green
You're awfully philosophical for a girl that just got busted.
John Green
