  • John Green Quote #3

    …iubirea mea, nu-?i pot spune cât de recunoscatoare sunt pentru mica noastra infinitate. N-a? schimba-o pentru nimic în lume. Tu mi-ai oferit o ve?nicie în interiorul zilelor numarate ?i pentru asta î?i sunt recunoscatoare.

  • John Green Quote #4

    — Eu escolheria você — digo. — Porra, eu escolheria você, sim. Quero que daqui a vinte anos você vá à minha casa com seu cara ou seus filhos adotivos e quero que a porra dos nossos filhos sejam amigos e quero, tipo, beber vinho e falar sobre o Oriente Médio, ou sei lá que porra vamos querer fazer quando formos velhos. Somos amigos há tempo demais pra escolher, mas, se pudéssemos escolher, eu escolheria você.

  • John Green Quote #5

    —¡Dios mío!, no quiero ser de esas personas que se sientan y hablan de lo que van a hacer. Simplemente voy a hacerlo. Imaginar el futuro es una especie de nostalgia.
    —¿Qué? —pregunté.
    —Te pasas toda la vida encerrado en el laberinto pensando en cómo escapar de ahí y lo fabuloso que será; imaginar ese futuro te mantiene con vida, pero nunca escapas. Solo utilizas el futuro para huir del presente.

  • John Green Quote #6

    —¿Por eso lees Celebrity Living?
    Lindsey asintió.
    —Sí, exacto. En alemán hay una palabra para eso. La tengo en la punta de...
    —Schadenfreude —dijo Collin.
    «Encontrar placer en la desgracia ajena».

  • John Green Quote #7

    —¿Qué más? Ella es tan hermosa. No te cansas de verla. Nunca te preocupas si es más inteligente que tú: sabes que lo es. Es graciosa sin querer serlo. La amo. Soy tan afortunado de amarla...

  • John Green Quote #8

    —De todos modos —me comentó Alaska—, creo que la manera en que te trataron fue horrorosa. Yo quería llorar. Quería besarte y curarte.
    —Qué las tima que no lo hicieras —dije impávido, y todos se rieron.

  • John Green Quote #9

    —Me mantuve diciéndole a ella “siempre” hoy, “siempre, siempre, siempre”, y ella sólo seguía discutiendo conmigo y no diciéndolo en respuesta. Era como si ya me hubiese ido, ¿sabes? ¡“Siempre” era una promesa! ¿Cómo puedes sólo romper una promesa?
    —A veces la gente no entiende las promesas que están haciendo cuando las están haciendo —dije. Isaac me lanzó una mirada—. Bien, por supuesto. Pero mantienes la promesa de todas formas. Eso es lo que es el amor. Amor es mantener una promesa de todo modos. ¿No crees en el amor verdadero?

  • John Green Quote #11

    A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me will full hands;

    How could I answer the child?......I do not know what it is any more than he.

    I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.

    There was the hope Dr. Holden had talked about-the grass was a metaphor for his hope. But thats not all. He continues,

    Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,

    A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,

    Like grass is a metaphor for God's greatness or something....

    And then soon after is itself a child....

    And then soon after that,

    Or, I guess it is a uniform hieroglyphic,
    And it means, Sprouting alike in broadzones and narrow zones.

    Growing among black folk as among white.

  • John Green Quote #12

    A day after I got my eye cut out, Gus showed up at the hospital. I was blind and heart-broken and didn't want to do anything and Gus burst into my room and shouted, 'I have wonderful news!' and I was like, 'I don't really want to hear wonderful news right now,' and Gus said, 'This is wonderful news you want to hear,' and I asked him, 'Fine, what is it?' and he said, 'You are going to live a good long life filled with great and terrible moments you cannot even imagine yet!

  • John Green Quote #13

    A Margo for each of us--and each more mirror than window.

  • John Green Quote #14

    A nonhot boy stares at you and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy...well.

  • John Green Quote #15

    A poem can't do its work if you only read snippets of it.

  • John Green Quote #16

    A quote says a lot about the author !

  • John Green Quote #17

    A sequel that will exist just for us

  • John Green Quote #18

    A volte leggi un libro e ti riempie di uno strano zelo evangelico che ti convince che il mondo frantumato che ti circonda non potrà mai ricomporsi a meno che, o fino a quando, tutti gli esseri umani non avranno letto quel libro. E poi ci sono libri come Un'imperiale afflizione, di cui non puoi parlare con l'altra gente, libri così speciali e rari e tuoi, che sbandierare il tuo amore per loro sembrerebbe un tradimento.

  • John Green Quote #19

    Adult librarians are like lazy bakers: their patrons want a jelly doughnut, so they give them a jelly doughnut. Children’s librarians are ambitious bakers: 'You like the jelly doughnut? I’ll get you a jelly doughnut. But you should try my cruller, too. My cruller is gonna blow your mind, kid.

  • John Green Quote #20

    After all this time, it still seems to me like straight and fast is the only way out - but I choose the labyrinth. The labyrinth blows, but I choose it. Chip/Colonel

  • John Green Quote #21

    After looking at the bite and seeing that the bleeding has already stopped, she asked, How was making out with my leg?
    Pretty good, I said, which was true. She leaned her body into mine a little and I could feel her upper arm against my ribs.
    I shaved this morning for precisely that reason. I was like, 'Well, you never know when someone is going to clamp down on your calf and try to suck out the snake poison.

  • John Green Quote #22

    AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!' he screamed.
    'So that's Sara,' I said.
    'Yes.'
    'She seems nice.

  • John Green Quote #23

    Alaska finished her cigarette and flicked it into the river.
    'Why do you smoke so damn fast?' I asked.
    She looked at me and smiled widely, and such a wide smile on her narrow face might have looked goofy were it not for the unimpeachably elegant green in her eyes. She smiled with all the delight of a kid on Christmas morning and said, 'Y'all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.

  • John Green Quote #24

    Algunas veces lees un libro, sientes un extraño afán evangelizador y estás convencido de que este desastrado mundo no se recuperará hasta que todos los seres humanos lo lean. Luego están los libros de los que no puedes hablar con nadie, libros tan especiales, escasos y tuyos que revelar el cariño que les tienes parece una gran traición.

  • John Green Quote #25

    All along — not only since she left, but for a decade before — I had been imagining her without listening, without knowing that she made as a poor a window as I did. And so I could not imagine her as a person who could feel fear, who could feel isolated in a roomful of people, who could be shy about her record collection because it was too personal to share. Someone who might have read travel books to escape having to live in the town that so many people escape to. Someone who — because no one thought she was a person — had no one to really talk to.

  • John Green Quote #26

    All at once, I couldn’t figure out why I was methodically tossing a spherical object through a toroidal object. It seemed like the stupidest thing I could possibly be doing.

  • John Green Quote #29

    All I know of heaven and all I know of death is in this park: an elegant universe in ceaseless motion, teeming with ruined ruins and screaming children.

  • John Green Quote #30

    All of us, poor & rich alike, have been conditioned by our upbringings. Impoverished men & women may become lulled into a state of learned helplessness without hope to change their lives. Likewise, the wealthy can walk in a state of learned blindness ignoring the desperation of the local & global poor.
