I think that most of us [writers] would rather have an audience than countless riches. If we wanted to be rich, we'd be doing smething else.

More quotes by John Green
You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that too much.
John Green
Hank, when people call people nerds mostly what they're saying is,'You like stuff'.
John Green
That's why people grow weary of listening to Dumpees obsess over their troubles: getting dumped is predictable, repetitive, and boring. They want to stay friends they feel smothered it's always them and it's never you and afterward, you're devastated and their relieved it's over for them and just starting for you.
John Green
Books—they weren't ladders out of the abyss, but they were companions.
John Green
Margo says, I know what she's talking about. The something deeper and more secret. It's like cracks inside of you. Like there are these fault lines where things don't meet up right.
John Green
And then I screwed up and the Colonel screwed up and Takumi screwed up and she slipped through our fingers.
John Green
At least for tonight. In sickness and in health. In good times and in bad. For richer, for poorer. 'Till dawn do us part.
John Green
How are the eyes?' 'Oh, excellent,' he said. 'I mean, they're not in my head is the only problem.' 'Awesome, yeah,' Gus said. 'Not to one-up you or anything, but my body is made out of cancer.' 'So I heard,' Issac said, trying not to let it get to him. He fumbled toward Gus's hand and found only his thigh. 'I'm taken,' Gus said.
John Green
But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.
John Green
We’re as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we’re not likely to do either.
John Green
But it is a pipe. No, it's not, I said. It's a drawing of a pipe. Get it? All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. It's very clever.
John Green
Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life. Ours was an epic love story, and I won’t be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Gus knew. Gus knows. I will not tell you our love story, because—like all real love stories—it will die with us, as it should.
John Green
It looked like an old painting, but real - everything achingly idyllic in the morning light - and I thought about how wonderfully strange it would be to live in a place where almost everything had been built by the dead.
John Green
I just want you to be happy. If that’s with me or with someone else or with nobody. I just want you to be happy.
John Green
i wanted more time so we could fall in love.
John Green
Colder by the hour, more dead with every breath.
John Green
Our role as humans is to recognize the complexity of others.
John Green
I was thinking about the universe wanting to be noticed, and how I had to notice it as best I could. I felt that I owed a debt to the universe that only my attention could repay, and also that I owed a debt to everybody who didn’t get to be a person anymore and everyone who hadn’t gotten to be a person yet.
John Green
I don't have a favourite book, I have hundreds.
John Green
It is worth it to leave behing my minor life for grander maybes.
John Green
