More quotes by John Green
He'd never been all that good at math, but he was a goddamned world-famous expert in getting dumped.
"Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape—the world or the end of it?"

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
