"I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much." 

— John Green

"NO. No no no. I don't want to screw you. I just love you. When did who you want to screw become the whole game? Since when is the person you want to screw the only person you get to love? It's so stupid, Tiny! I mean, Jesus, who even gives a fuck about sex?! People act like it's the most important thing humans do, but come on. How can our sentient fucking lives revolve around something slugs can do. I mean, who you want to screw and whether you screw them? Those are important questions, I guess. But they're not that important. You know what's important? Who would you die for? Who do you wake up at five forty-five in the morning for even though you don't even know why he needs you? Whose drunken nose would you pick?!" 

— John Green

"Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are. . . [But] I do pick you. . . We've been friends too long to pick, but if we could pick, I'd pick you." 

— John Green

"I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that." 

— John Green 

"I don't want to fall. All I want to do is stand on solid ground."

"We’re sick of hearing people say, “That band is so gay,” or “Those guys are fags.” Gay is not a synonym for shitty. If you wanna say something’s shitty, say it’s shitty. Stop being such homophobic assholes."

"Here's to the kids.

The kids who would rather spend their night with a bottle of coke & Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones than go to some vomit-stained high school party.

Here's to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them.

Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars.

Here's to the kids who never were too good at life, but still were wicked cool.

Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV...and blame MTV for ruining their life.

Here's to the kids who care more about the music than the haircuts. 

Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush.

Here's to the kids who hum "A Little Less 16 Candles, A Little More Touch Me" when they're stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night.

Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart from someone who didn't even know they existed.

Here's to the kids who have read The Perks of Being a Wallflower & didn't feel so alone after doing so.

Here's to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friend(s). 

Here's to the kids who are straight up smartasses & just don't care.

Here's to the kids who speak their mind.

Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep.

Here's to the kids who second guess themselves on everything they do.

Here's to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that.

Here's to the kids.

This one's not for the kids,

who always get what they want,

But for the ones who never had it at all. 

It's not for the ones who never got caught, 

But for the ones who always try and fall. 

This one's for the kids who didnt make it, 

We were the kids who never made it. 

The Overcast girls and the Underdog Boys.

Not for the kids who had all their joys. 

This one's for the kids who never faked it. 

We're the kids who didn't make it. 

They say "Breaking hearts is what we do best,"

And, "We'll make your heart be ripped of your chest" 

The only heart that I broke was mine, 

When I got My Hopes up too too high.

We were the kids who didnt make it. 

We are the kids who never made it."
