I write about broken people who need other people in order to go on. But those are the only kind of people I know to exist. We are all broken.

More quotes by John Green
Study broadly and without fear.
John Green
It doesn’t matter how long we’ve used something all that matters is how awesome the thing replacing it is. MP3s and automobiles happen to be really, really awesome, whereas ebooks—at least so far—are fairly limited in their awesomeness.
John Green
Being a person, I had come to realize, is a communal activity. Dogs know how to be dogs. But people do not know how to be people unless and until they learn from other people.
John Green
We all romanticize the people we adore.
John Green
There's no way of knowing that your last good day is Your Last Good Day. At the time, it is just another good day.
John Green
but there was nothing I could do to dim the supernovae exploding inside my brain, an endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers
John Green
She had the kind of fingers you want to interlace with your own.
John Green
And yes, again, that was it exactly. A retyper and not a writer. A prodigy and not a genius.
John Green
I find it really offensive when people say that the emotional experiences of teenagers are less real or less important than those of adults. I am an adult, and I used to be a teenager, and so I can tell you with some authority that my feelings then were as real as my feelings are now.
John Green
Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does.
John Green
And I vaguely remember her smiling at me from the door way the glittering ambiguity of a girls smile, which seems to promise an answer to the question, but never gives it. The question, the one we’ve all been asking since girls stopped being gross, the question that is to simple to be uncomplicated: Does she like me or does she LIKE me?
John Green
What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?
John Green
What's that? The laundry basket? No, next to it. I don't see anything next to it. It's my last shred of dignity. It's very small.
John Green
This was not a place you go to live. It was a place you go to die.- Paper Towns
John Green
I enjoy writing about people falling in love, probably because I think the first time you fall in love is the first time that you have to figure out how you're going to orient your life. What are you going to value? What's going to be most important to you? And I think that's really interesting to write about.
John Green
What's your name ? Hazel . No , your full name . Um , Hazel Grace Lancaster .
John Green
Leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots. But you can't do that until your life has grown roots.
John Green
I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
John Green
He just waited until I stopped talking and said, 'Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives. So what's your theory?
John Green
…God, it’s over. Takumi, you gotta stop stealing other people’s problems and get some of your own.
John Green
