Nothing ever happens the way you imagine it will. But then again, if you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.
John Green
In my kind of falling, there’s no landing. There’s only hitting the ground. Hard. Dead, or wanting to be dead. So the whole time you’re falling, it’s the worst feeling in the world. Because you feel you have no control over it. Because you know how it ends.
John Green

John Green

John Green
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true, here is the place where I love you.
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins

John Green
…but it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he had Cassius note, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.
John Green
Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.
William Goldman, The Princess Bride (via larmoyante)
You could hold me and I could hold you. And it would be so peaceful. Completely peaceful. Like the feeling of sleep, but awake in it together.
John Green
Neither novels or their readers benefit from any attempts to divine whether any facts hide inside a story. Such efforts attack the very idea that made-up stories can matter, which is sort of the foundational assumption of our species.
John Green
