More From John Green

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

It was in the 1960s that the left convinced itself that there is something fascistic about patriotism and something perversely "patriotic" about running down america. anti-americanism - a stand-in for hatred of western civilization - became the stuff of sophisticates and intellectuals as never before. flag burners became the truest "patriots" because dissent - not just from partisan politics, but the american project itself - became the highest virtue.

Is it possible to get a cup of coffee-flavored coffee anymore in this country? what happened with coffee? did i miss a meeting? they have every other flavor but coffee-flavored coffee. they have mochaccino, frappaccino, cappuccino, al pacino...coffee doesn't need a menu, it needs a cup.

I don't have any particular rituals, i sometimes like to write in longhand when i'm searching for ideas but i do the vast majority by typing, i can't always keep up with my thoughts longhand. i'm not a coffee shop writer because i feel obliged to order more coffee and then i end up over-caffeinated.
Coffee Writing Order
Don't drink on an empty stomach: the main point of the refreshment is the enhancement of food. don't drink if you have the blues: it's a junk cure. drink when you are in a good mood. cheap booze is a false economy. it's not true that you shouldn't drink alone: these can be the happiest glasses you ever drain. hangovers are another bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can't properly remember last night. (if you really don't remember, that's an even worse sign.)

Why do i think that we, the intellectuals, are able to help? simply because we, the intellectuals, have done the most terrible harm for thousands of years. mass murder in the name of an idea, a doctrine, a theory, a religion - that is all "our" doing, "our" invention: the invention of the intellectuals. if only we would stop setting man against man - often with the best intentions - much would be gained. nobody can say that it is impossible for us to stop doing this.

I have a lot of special memories with my parents but my toughest one is, i had, as a teenager, a pretty insatiable appetite for beer. the first time i got drunk my father found me throwing up in the bathroom. i was 15, maybe 16, and the disappointment in his voice, i can hear it to this day, and the sorrow that that brought to him. he just felt like a failure as a father, and id give anything to take that day back because that was so hard on him. in time, my life got better, and his did too, but that was really memorable, one of those memories id like to forget.

The highest point a man can attain is not knowledge, or virtue, or goodness, or victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: sacred awe!

Gaming in general is a male thing. it isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. and i think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.
