Colin Singleton’s distance from his glasses made him realize the problem: myopia. He was nearsighted. The future lay before him, inevitable but invisible.
John Green
Osteosarcoma sometimes takes a limb to check you out. The, if it like you, it takes the rest.
John Green
But I was not in the band, because I suffer from the kind of tone deafness that is generally associated with actual deafness
John Green
Physical intimacy isn’t and can never be an effective substitute for emotional intimacy.
John Green
What's the meaning of life? Other people.
John Green
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
You listen to people so that you can imagine them, and you hear all the terrible and wonderful things people do to themselves and to one another, but in the end the listening exposes you even more than it exposes the people you're trying to listen to.
John Green
The human tongue is like wasabi: it's very powerful, and should be used sparingly.
John Green
