More From John Green

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
At the root of the assault on our liberties is, in fact, an assault on our character--an assault that assumes that we are not good enough to be free, and that aims to make sure that we are no longer strong enough, courageous enough, disciplined enough to be a free people.
Strong Character Roots
Nietzsche, who you don't spend too much time with after the age of seventeen, did have that one great line about "he who stares into the abyss must know that the abyss also stares into him" and i never really understood that until my friend got killed and you really get your head around the idea of what horror means. it's a truly awful thing, to really, kind of have that understanding of things and when you really peer into that.
Mean Ideas Understanding
Gentlemen, we are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. but we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. i am not remotely interested in just being good.
Inspirational Knowing Perfect
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...th e reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. if it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.
