John Green
Why is it upset? Shouldn't it be downset?
John Green

John Green
But what could I lose by continuing that had not already been lost?
John Green
This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.
John Green
...whatever you're worried about, you're bigger than the worries.
John Green
She never liked me much, but she sure loved me
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
