More From John Green

You could hear the wind in the leaves, and on that wind traveled the screams of the kids on the playground in the distance, the little kids figuring out how to be alive, how to navigate a world that was not built for them by navigating a playground that was. . . who am i to say that these things might not be forever? who is pete van houten to assert as fact the conjecture that our labor is temporary? all i know of heaven and all i know of death is in this park: an elegant universe in ceaseless motion, teeming with ruined ruins and screaming children.

A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called "the road less traveled", describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. the poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. sure enough, that poet is dead.

Youth is terrible: it is a stage trod by children in buskins and a variety of costumes mouthing speeches they've memorized and fanatically believe but only half understand. and history is terrible because it so often ends up a playground for the immature; a playground for the young nero, a playground for the young bonaparte, a playground for the easily roused mobs of children whose simulated passions and simplistic poses suddenly metamorphose into a catastrophically real reality.

I think it's really easy for people to point out hypocrisy in people's lives. it's like yeah, i get on planes a lot, and i drank from a plastic water bottle today - you know what i'm saying? a lot of people would just be like, "oh, you're a hypocrite. you live in an ecovillage for a month, and then you fly around the world to talk about a movie." don't think that i don't think about those things! don't think that that's not, like, a quandary in my life. it can be a pretty intense ethical dilemma. i think it's about figuring out, you know, navigating life.
