And I don’t blame him. I don’t even trust me.
John Green
I can't remember, because I never knew.

He reached up t0 grab one and came down with several, and they kept coming, washing over him, floating all around him. Never have tampon strings seemed so beautiful as they rolled up and down with the wind, landing on the ground and then twirling and floating up again, falling and rising and falling and rising.

John Green
I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.
John Green
Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green
Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will, she says. The sky is like a monochromatic contemporary painting, drawing me in with its illusion of depth, pulling me up. Yeah, that's true, I say. But then after I think about it for a second, I add, But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all.
John Green
Augustus, I said. Really. You don't have to do this. Sure I do, he said. I found my Wish. God, you're the best, I told him. I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel, he answered.
John Green
I have two kinds of Facebook friends: Those who know what 'DFTBA' means, and those who don't.
John Green
Hurt tends to drown out sorry.
John Green
I'm not interested in writing for adults. I like them as people! I don't like the way they publish books in that world. Nothing ever gets a chance.
John Green
It's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.
John Green
All salvation is temporary, Augustus shot back. I bought them a minute. Maybe that's the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one's gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that's not nothing.
John Green
Study broadly and without fear.
