More From John Green

You’re not exempt from math if you’re a republican, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a democrat. you’re not exempt from math if you’re a liberal, and you’re not exempt from math if you’re a conservative. you still have to do math.
Math Conservative Republican
God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.
Husband Unique Wife
There is one brain organ that is optimised for understanding and articulating logical processes and that is the outer layer of the brain, called the cerebral cortex. unlike the rest of the brain, this relatively recent evolutionary development is rather flat, only about 0.32 cm (0.12 in) thick and includes a mere 6 million neurons. this elaborately folded organ provides us with what little competence we do possess for understanding what we do and who we do it.
Understanding Brain Development
I noticed there were so many people, especially women, who would come up to me having recognized me from tv and say, 'i heard you were a math person, why math? oh my gosh, i could never do math!' i could just see their self-esteem crumbling; i thought that was silly, so i wanted to make math more friendly and accessible.
Self Esteem Silly Math
I'm a strong believer that you have to have an equal opportunity to fail and to try things that are hard. i always tell my students, "don't just take things that are easy for you. if you're really good at math, don't take just math. take classes that make you write. if you're a really great writer, but bad at math, take math and make yourself work your way through it."
Strong Writing Math
What i mean by socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain­slack brain workers, nor heart­sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all - the realisation at last of the meaning of the word 'commonwealth.'

While it is democratically not permissible for an individual to own any information or publishing medium, all individuals have a natural right to self-expression by any means, even if such means were insane and meant to prove a person's insanity.
Mean Self Expression
Few things build a person up like affirmation. according to webster’s new world dictionary, third college edition (simon and schuster, 1991), the word affirm comes from ad firmare, which means “to make firm.” so when you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see about them. do that often enough, and the belief that solidifies within them will become stronger than the doubts they have about themselves.
Mean College People
You know, almost everyone is an irritant to me. i think people have forgotten what the word 'public' means. 'public' means you're going to be irritated. it's a natural consequence of leaving one's home. you go outside, and there are people who are irritating. i'll be standing on the sidewalk, and someone berates me for smoking. i look at the person and think, but what about your shoes? how can you wear shoes like that and have the confidence to accost someone like me?
