“Immaginare il futuro sa di rimpianto. Passi la vita inchiodato nel labirinto, pensando al modo in cui un giorno ne uscirai, e a come sarà fantastico, e immagini che il futuro ti trascinerà pian piano fuori di lì, ma non succede. È solo usare il futuro per sfuggire al presente.”

John Green Frasi e Citazioni

“Chip non credeva nella necessità di avere un cassetto per i calzini e uno per le magliette. Era fermamente convinto che tutti i cassetti erano stati creati uguali, e li riempiva come capitava.”

“Ho sempre trovato ridicolo che le persone desiderino stare insieme a qualcuno perché è carino. È come scegliere i cereali della colazione in base al colore anziché al sapore.”

Sulle persone

“L'uomo vuole avere delle certezze. Non riesce a sopportare l'idea che la morte sia un nero e immenso nulla, il pensiero che i suoi cari non esistano più, e tanto meno può immaginare sé stesso come non esistente. […] l'uomo crede nell'aldilà perché non ha la forza di non crederci.”

“Odiavo lo sport, odiavo quelli che facevano sport, odiavo quelli a cui piaceva guardarlo, e odiavo chi non odiava quelli che lo facevano o cui piaceva guardarlo.”

“Certe cose non puoi prolungarle all'infinito. Viene il momento in cui devi strappar via il cerotto. Fa male, ma poi passa e ti senti meglio.”

Cercando Alaska

il male

“Forse è più come hai detto prima, che dentro di noi si sono aperte delle crepe. Ognuno all'inizio è una nave inaffondabile.
Poi ci succedono alcune cose: persone che ci lasciano, che non ci amano, che non capiscono o che noi non capiamo, e ci perdiamo, sbagliamo, ci facciamo male, gli uni con gli altri. E lo scafo comincia a creparsi. E quando si rompe non c'è niente da fare, la fine è inevitabile. […] Però c'è un sacco di tempo tra quando le crepe cominciano a formarsi e quando andiamo a pezzi.
Ed è solo in quel momento che possiamo vederci, perché vediamo fuori di noi dalle nostre fessure e dentro gli altri attraverso le loro.”

John Green: Frasi in inglese

“It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in.”

“[M]aybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.”

“People die. That’s true in novels, and it’s true in life. Dying is one of the very few things we all do. To deny or ignore the omnipresent reality of death seems to me a disservice to human beings. That said, acknowledging in my novels that death exists does not make me a murderer any more than acknowledging that cancer can be treated makes me an oncologist.”

“Colin believed that the world contained exactly two kinds of people: Dumpers and Dumpees. A lot of people will claim to be both, but those people miss the point entirely: You are predisposed to either one fate or the other. Dumpers may not always be the heartbreakers, and the Dumpees may not always be the heartbroken. But everyone has a tendency.”

“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”

“Standing before this building, I learn something about fear. I learn that it is not the idle fantasies of someone who maybe wants something important to happen to him, even if the important thing is horrible. It is not the disgust of seeing a dead stranger, and not the breathlessness of hearing a shotgun pumped outside of Becca Arrington's house. This cannot be addressed by breathing exercises. This fear bears no analogy to any fear I knew before. This is the basest of all possible emotions, the feeling that was with us before we existed, before this building existed, before the earth existed. This is the fear that made fish crawl out onto dry land and evolve lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead.”

“I mean Hank, the movie was great, but the thirty minutes before the movie started was what I love about being a nerd. Because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself-love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff', which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'.”
