John Green
For she had embodied the Great Perhaps--she had proved to me that it was worth it to leave behind my minor life for grander maybes, and now she was gone and with her my faith in perhaps.
John Green
Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way.
John Green
The marks humans leave are too often scars.
John Green
I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that.
John Green
Sunlight feels warm and rough against your skin like a kiss on the cheek from your dad.
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
