John Green
I fear your faith has been mis- placed—but then, faith usually is.
John Green
We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either.

You know, like when you look in the mirror and the thing you see is not the thing as it really is.
John Green

John Green
I don't know where people got the idea that characters in books are supposed to be likable. Books are not in the business of creating merely likeable characters with whom you can have some simple identification with. Books are in the business of creating great stories that make you're brain go ahhbdgbdmerhbergurhbudgerbudbaaarr.
John Green
No headboards were broken.
John Green
You're funny, and you're smart, and you may show up late, but you always show up eventually.
John Green
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.
John Green
Her library filled her bookshelves and then overflowed into waist-high stacks of books everywhere, piled haphazardly against the walls. If just one of them moved... the domino effect could engulf the three of us in an asphyxiating mass of literature.
John Green
