I was once in a lecture where our truly spectacular professor was talking about his deep love songwriting. He told us that sometimes when you write you can give yourself chills-how you just know that after trial and error, you’ve finally hit the nail on the head. He recited Bob Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower: “Well, outside in the cold distance, a wildcat did growl. Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl.” He looked at us for a moment, and then said “You know, when you write something like that, you just call it a day. You can’t beat it.” And after a quiet moment of reflection, he just dismissed class 30 minutes early. I still think about that lecture at least monthly. RIP Prof Wheeler, you were a real one. 🙏🏻😭

"The bible says to love the Lord like you love water and air. Well loving you was when I knew I was in trouble spiritually. Because how could I even love my God more than I could love you? I need you like I need air. I just can't do without."

TFIOS is a literary masterpiece and it deserves to be taught in schools worldwide.

“Idk but listen to MY quote” lmao

[@fellzer]

The line: "As the homeless man asked for the bathroom key and the barista refused, i stared deeply into my lovers eyes. The quarreling in the background faded away. Neither of us bothered to realize fecal matter was being flung everywhere around us, first slowly then all at once" Absolute art 👏🏻

"He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry."--- Thr Book Thief. Knowng what happens and who said it... Still pulls my heart strings 😭. Oh, and any quote from "All My Rage" is so memorable.

"*cake* is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but *bongs* smell amazing"

[@orangutansoda]

YES this line has stuck with me for literal years. I read it when I was 12 and at 21 I still remember it all those years later. Idk why it stuck with me so much. Maybe it’s because it’s just so accurate to both how love and sleep work. Maybe it’s just relatable. Idk it was real tho. Thanks John

[@sfmmmo7599]

Damn! I LOVE that line!! 🤌✨️

[@FreedumbHS]

My favorite quote is from Niels Bohr, a colleague asked him whether he believed in the superstition upon seeing a horseshoe above Bohr's office door. Bohr replied: "no, but I'm told it brings luck whether you believe in it or not"

[@adityarai2470]

The most memorable line for me. Was from the the song 'the night we met' I had all and then most of you,some and now nobe of you..chills!!

Sence everyone is sharing their favorite quotes: Given where we came from, some bug crawling out of a random pool of water somewhere, I think we've done pretty well for ourselves. I'd much rather be a rising ape than a falling angel. Sir Terry Pratchett.

[@andreeacristina6169]

I really love that quote❤

[@amandarsmith2010]

I finally watched the movie last week. I swear it healed a part of my inner child that I didn't know needed it. I now can't wait to read the book.

“What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her.” lives rent free in my head

[@colinwaller3792]

I have never ever once even seen a John Green quote that is on par with that of history’s greatest men… Because his quotes are so undervalued and haven’t been given the time to truly age and develop like others, and before we can truly appreciate him, we will have lost him to the torrents of time.

[@trash__queen]

Im gonna write this man a good email because hes sucha genuine dude

[@miscelaineous5164]

Not to toot John Green’s horn but there are so many bangers from that book that have really stuck with me since middle school. “Some infinities are bigger than others” comes to mind. Or “Depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying”. Or “you don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you”. JG really does bring philosophy to the masses and the laymen and the middle school girls.

My favorite John Green line - "An eye for an eye makes the whole world Monocular"
