John Green’s Awesomeness
I was reading John Green’s “An Abundance of Katherines” and at one point he quotes Democritus. And there is a note to that where he has written the actual quote in greek. It’s the first time that I read an English book that has actual greek characters in it. That is awesome!
*For anyone who doesn’t know, I’m from Greece*
- I love you.
- I love you, too, Ben.
- No, I love you. Not like a sister loves a brother or like a friend loves a friend. I love you like a really drunk guy loves the best girl ever. —

Paper Towns by John Green
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 the 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.

That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people would want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.

Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement. There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for planning. No time for future. But then the life spans started getting longer, and people started having more and more future and so they spent more time thinking about it. About the future. And now life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future.

Margo Roth Spiegelman, who got into that concert by telling the bouncer she was the bassist’s girlfriend, and didn’t they recognize her, and come on guys seriously, my name is Margo Roth Spiegelman and if you go back there and ask the bassist to take a look at me, he will tell you that either am his girlfriend or he wishes I was, and then the bouncer did so, and then the bassist said “yeah that’s my girlfriend let her in the show”, and then later the bassist wanted to hook up with her and she rejected the bassist from the Mallionaires.
