John Green Quote #1
You put the thing that does the killing between your teeth, but you never give it the power to kill you
John Green Quote #2
(...) and then I realized there was no one else to call, which was the saddest thing. The only person I really wanted to talk to about Augustus Water's death was Augustus Water.
John Green Quote #3
(I didn’t tell him that the
diagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die.)John Green Quote #4
(Witness also that when we talk about literature, we do so in the present tense. When we speak of the dead, we are not so kind.) You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect.
John Green Quote #5
- El mundo - dijo -, no es una fábrica de conceder deseos.
John Green Quote #6
- Miedo de que no sea capaz de dar nada a cambio por mi vida. Si no vives una vida de servicio del bien mayor, tienes al menos que morir una muerta al servicio de un bien mayor, ¿sabes? Y temo que no tenga ni una vida o una muerte que signifique algo.
John Green Quote #7
-Cual es el placer?
-La planificacion, supongo. No lo se. Hacer cosas nunca se siente tan bien como esperas que se sentira.John Green Quote #8
. . . we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.
John Green Quote #9
.. the smell of canals and cigarette smoke, all the people sitting outside the cafés drinking beer, saying their r's and g's in a way I'd never learn. I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before this recurrance that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again. That is probably true even if you live to be ninety.

John Green Quote #15
... if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.
John Green Quote #16
... that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we have to forgive to survive in the labyrinth. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless.
John Green Quote #17
... Their sneak-out was over. But by then it was too late. In his mind, Katherine I was already becoming Katherine XIX. She would soon retake the throne that, all along, had rightfully been hers.
John Green Quote #18
...amor mío, no puedo expresar lo mucho que te agradezco nuestro pequeño infinito. No lo cambiaría por el mundo entero. Me has dado una eternidad en esos días contados, y te doy las gracias.
John Green Quote #19
...and on that thin-mooned night, I could see little more than her silhoutte except for when she smoked, the burning cherry of the cigarette washing her face in pale red light.

...and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth.
John Green Quote #21
...being in a bad mood with your friends beats being in a bad mood without them.
John Green Quote #22
...But there's always suffering, Pudge. Homework or malaria or having a boyfriend who lives far away when there's a good-looking boy lying next to you. Suffering is universal. It's the one thing Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims are all worried about.
John Green Quote #23
...everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does.
John Green Quote #24
...It sounded like a dragon breathing in time with me, like I had this pet dragon who was cuddled up next to me and cared enough about me to time his breaths to mine.
John Green Quote #25
...stories don’t just make us matter to each other—maybe they’re also the
only way to the infinite mattering he’d been after for so long.John Green Quote #26
