More quotes by John Green, Looking for Alaska

"You can't just make me different and then leave"
"That didn’t happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined them."
"People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn't bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn't bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn't even imagine themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to."
"When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books."
