I ran like a cheetah - well, like a cheetah that smoked too much.
John Green
Random questions are the least random of all questions.
John Green
There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or save us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow- that, in short, we are all going.
John Green
The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy.
John Green
We look back to the most important moment in our history, and that becomes the dividing line between what we were and what we are now.
John Green

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
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
We have to live with ambiguity. We have to give ourselves over to it. The question is: How? How are we going to live in a universe where important questions will always go unanswered?
John Green
My heart is really pounding, I said. That's how you know you're having fun, Margo said.
John Green
People are different when you can smell them and look up close, you know?
John Green
