More quotes by John Green
It was an indulgence, learning last words. Other people had chocolate I had dying declarations.
John Green
I have a great affection for people who are intellectually engaged with the world, and who don't treat everything superficially. And I think, when people talk about nerdiness, what they're really talking about is smart people who who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.
John Green
Our children are weird. Nicely phrased.
John Green
Imagining isn't perfect. You can't get all the way inside someone else...But imagining being someone else, or the world being something else, is the only way in. It is the machine that kills fascists.
John Green
All good American literature is always interested in people who are ambiguously heroic, like Gatsby.
John Green
my lungs sucked at being lungs.

Those of us who frequent the band room have long suspected that Becca maintains her lovely figure by eating nothing but the souls of kittens and the dreams of impoverished children.
John Green
It's nice to have people who will feel guilty for you.

John Green
These little contradictions are in all of us. They're in me at least. And so I forgot that I had been awake for 30 hours and kept walking, grateful to be a little boat full of water, still floating.
John Green
You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.
John Green
And as we kept driving north, the whole family in the care together, it got darker, and snowier, until finally the road delivered us to the one place that all my youthful trips west never could: home.
John Green
Miles, as in 'to go before I sleep'?
John Green
I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.
John Green
I'm a big believer in pairing classics with contemporary literature, so students have the opportunity to see that literature is not a cold, dead thing that happened once but instead a vibrant mode of storytelling that's been with us a long time - and will be with us, I hope, for a long time to come.
John Green
And yes, again, that was it exactly. A retyper and not a writer. A prodigy and not a genius.
John Green
I like to build places online where readers can have productive conversations about books.
John Green
It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in.
