John Green
That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.
John Green
As a child I was an inveterate liar. As opposed to now, I am a Novelist.
John Green
My heart is really pounding, I said. That's how you know you're having fun, Margo said.
