Destiny is not something that...

Destiny is not something that happens all at once-it's something that happens only in retrospect.

John Green 1375 quotes

High School made me realize t...

High School made me realize that the people who say they will never change, are always the ones who change the most.

John Green 1375 quotes

I think all true stories are ...

I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.

John Green 1375 quotes

One of the jobs of a writer i...

One of the jobs of a writer is to add nuance and ambiguity to that straight line that people often draw to very specific kinds of heroism. Most of us don't get to be Snooki. For most of us heroism has to be in our everyday lives.

John Green 1375 quotes

I don't think ministering req...

I don't think ministering requires a religious context. The number one thing is that every parent is extremely worried about their kid. Of course, when a chaplain shows up, that can exacerbate this worry rather than calm it.

John Green 1375 quotes

I think when you're 16, if you have good parents, they generally just fade in the background. I had great parents, and because they were great, I thought very little about them in high school.

John Green 1375 quotes

The challenge is the same whe...

The challenge is the same whether or not I'm collaborating: to empathize with your reader and to tell a story that will matter to him or her. But the mechanics of going about that challenge change when you're collaborating, because you have someone to help refine your thinking and expand your vision of what might happen.

John Green 1375 quotes

All the characters are made o...

All the characters are made out of words. With reading, I understand that the people aren't real but the fact that they are made out of language and are made out of words is extremely powerful to me. It becomes transformative for me. Different people have different ways of trying to make stories using language.

John Green 1375 quotes

The universe is biased toward...

The universe is biased toward consciousness because the universe wants to be noticed. It's a way into existential hope that doesn't have too much clich? wrapped around it.

John Green 1375 quotes

There's not a lot of room for...

There's not a lot of room for un-ironic emotion in contemporary culture. I think that irony is an important tool in dealing with the world as we find it. It's a tool of protection, but it can also be a tool of incision to get to some truth. But along the way maybe we've lost some of what I think of as the power of straightforward emotion and earnestness and seriousness.

John Green 1375 quotes

As a reader, I don't feel a story has an obligation to make me happy. I want stories to show me a bigger world than the one I know.

John Green 1375 quotes

If we restructure things to s...

If we restructure things to see that the hero's journey is a degree in astrophysics rather than a journey to star in a reality show, that's a better world.

John Green 1375 quotes

Don't lie to anyone, but part...

Don't lie to anyone, but particularly don't lie to millennials. They just know. They can smell it. Be yourself: if you're old, be old. If you don't know anything about pop culture, don't pretend to know anything about pop culture. When you credit teenagers with intelligence and emotional sophistication, they respond intelligently and with emotional sophistication.

John Green 1375 quotes

I think that it's a universal...

I think that it's a universal urge to have our pain not be felt alone and to have our joys not be felt alone.

John Green 1375 quotes

I think people who are religious are more likely to want one around, but it's a very secular position.

Becoming a father made me much more interested in the parent character in my novels. I've never found parents that interesting.

John Green 1375 quotes

You're amazing, and I so want...

You're amazing, and I so want to be your boyfriend, because of what you just said, and also because that shirt makes me want to take you home and do unspeakable things while we watch live-action Sailor Moon videos

John Green 1375 quotes

I worked hard to meet his eye...

I worked hard to meet his eyes, even though they were the kind of pretty that's hard to look at.

John Green 1375 quotes

The act of leaning in to kiss...

The act of leaning in to kiss someone, or asking them, is fraught with the possibility of rejection, so the person least likely to get rejected should do the leaning in or the asking.

You may be smart, but I've been smart longer.
