More quotes by John Green

John Green

John Green
She was not an adventure, she was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointments in the Department of Having a Voice that Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin.
John Green
The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness.
John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me.
John Green
Patients are almost always preceded by their parents, because no matter how fast an ambulance can drive, terrified parents can drive faster.
John Green
I am a giant squid of anger.
John Green
Before any of it could make sense, it had to be heard.
John Green
Caroline was always moody and miserable, but I liked it. I liked feeling as if she had chosen me as the only person in the world not to hate, and so we spent all this time together just ragging on everyone, you know?
John Green
I may die young, but at least I'll die smart.
John Green
