More quotes by John Green, An Abundance of Katherines

"Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back."
"Do you know what your problem is? You can't live with the idea that someone might leave."
"Uh-uh, dude. I tried it your way with the dating and the girls and the kissing and the drama, and man, I didn't like it. Plus, my best friend is a walking cautionary tale of what happens to you when romantic relationships don't involve marriage. Like you always say, kafir, everything ends in breakup, divorce, or death. I want to narrow my misery options to divorce or death - that's all."
"What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?"
"I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter."
