John Green
You don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.
John Green
The amazing thing is that we're right to hold onto hope. The world may be broken but hope is not crazy.
John Green
You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.
John Green

John Green
I think forever is an incorrect concept.
John Green
She waited for me to play out the string, to find the place where she had stopped and was waiting for me, to follow the breadcrumb tail until it dead-ended into her.
John Green
You can say a lot of bad things about Alabama, but you can't say that Alabamans as a people are duly afraid of deep fryers.
