Favourite Quotes from John Green
John Michael Green is an American author, YouTube content creator, and podcaster. The most beautiful thing about his works is the way he portrays human feelings in words. Here is a collection of my favourite quotes from him.
- “The world is not a wish-granting factory.”
2. “ Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood.”
3. “ What is the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable?”
4. “…whatever you’re worried about, you’re bigger than the worries.”
5. “I don’t know how I look, but I know how I feel: Young. Goofy. Infinite.”
6 . “If people could see me the way I see myself — if they could live in my memories — would anyone love me?”
7. “And then there are books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”
8. “Oh, I wouldn’t mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”
9. “ I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”
10. “We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken.”
