More From John Green

If i go home and someone, and my child has blood running down her leg and someone tells me that a snake bit her, i'm going out and kill the snake. and when i find the snake, i'm not going to look and see if he has blood on his jaws.

I'm really critical of my posture, it makes a big difference. and i try to suck my belly in. everyone should do that whether you're on a red carpet or not. even if you're just going out to dinner with your boyfriend you should try and suck it in.

For the white man to ask the black man if he hates him is just like the rapist asking the raped, or the wolf asking the sheep, 'do you hate me?' the white man is in no moral position to accuse anyone else of hate! why, when all of my ancestors are snake-bitten, and i'm snake-bitten, and i warn my children to avoid snakes, what does that snake sound like accusing me of hate-teaching?

Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. the nectar of love alone can destroy the poison of hate.

On the farm, i had chores. i had a calf. we had a herd of cattle in the pasture. we'd go and get me a calf at a cow auction with amish people, which i would raise. i gave it a bottle every day, in this cute little coop, like a giant dog coop almost. i've always been a big animal person.

I wondered why it had to be so poisonous. oleanders could live through anything, they could stand heat, drought, neglect, and put out thousands of waxy blooms. so what did they need poison for? couldn't they just be bitter? they weren't like rattlesnakes, they didn't even eat what they killed. the way she boiled it down, distilled it, like her hatred. maybe it was a poison in the soil, something about l.a., the hatred, the callousness, something we didn't want to think about, that the plant concentrated in its tissues. maybe it wasn't a source of poison, but just another victim.
