Review of John Green Quotes
10:07 PM
Hey everybody! I think we all could think of at least one quote from John Green. This post is going to be all about his quotes, and which book has the best in my opinion. I'm going to be "reviewing" quotes from three of his books: The Fault in our Stars, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska. I like all of these books, even though many people think of them, especially The Fault in our Stars and Paper Towns, as cliche for the love stories in them. I'm going to start by listing some of the more famous quotes from the books.....
The Fault in our Stars:
- I fell in love with him the way you fall asleep: Slowly, and then all at once.
- That's a thing about pain. It demands to be felt.
- Funerals, I've decided, are not for the dead. They are for the living.
- My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.
- You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world... but you do have some say in who hurts you.
- Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.
- The marks humans leave are too often scars.
- It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.
- The world is not a wish-granting factory.
- Grief does not change you, it reveals you.
- And of course the most famous of them all......... "Okay." "Okay."
Paper Towns:
- She loved mysteries so much, that she became one.
- What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person.
- It's a shame, don't you think? All the strings inside him broke.
- Everything's uglier up close.
- You have to get lost before you find yourself.
- The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle.
- I stopped listening to those stories. Because whatever she is doing, wherever she is now, I'm sure it's something special. But hey, that's her story to tell.
Looking for Alaska:
- It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn't the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.
- At some point, you just pull off the Band-Aid, and it hurts, but then it's over and you're relieved.
- That didn't happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined.
- I'm not really up for answering any questions that start with how, when, where, why or how.
- We are greater than the sum of our parts.
- After all this time, it still seems to me like straight and fast is the only way out.
- I go to seek a great perhaps.
I like all of these, mostly because they all are so meaningful and inspirational. The Fault in our Stars has more quoted lines, but Papers Towns and Looking for Alaska's quotes are more real. The Fault in our Stars is more of a fairytale, rather than telling what a true love story is like. Looking for Alaska has very good quotes, but all of them way more depressing than the other books. Paper Towns has a mix of sad quotes and good/true quotes. Picking a favorite book based on these quotes is definitely hard. I'd have to say The Fault in our Stars is my favorite though because I know the inside meaning of them all from watching and reading it so much. I also like them more because they are so much more happy than the other two books.
Thanks for reading,
