Quote by John Green

“The longest day of my life began tardily. I woke up late, took too long in the shower, and ended up having to enjoy my breakfast in the passenger seat of my mom’s minivan at 7:17 that Wednesday morning.”

“Она рассеянно посмотрела на меня и потёрла нос, будто он чесался; жест этот, как я впоследствии понял, часто его наблюдая, означал, что собеседник проявляет излишнее любопытство. Как и многих людей, охотно и откровенно о себе рассказывающих, всякий прямой вопрос сразу её настораживал.”

“On the way back something very strange happened. I didn't realize I was going to say it, but I said out loud, "I wish I was dead"... the love and the beauty and the ecstasy of the whole experience I'd just gone through were really so alien. I didn't even know the man... it had been a one-night jag... he was married and had children... and I just felt lost. It hardly seemed worth living any more because once again I was alone.”

“Edie Sedgwick didn’t really fit in on this planet. She didn’t fit in anywhere. She’d spent years in mental institutions, she took far too many drugs and yet she was destined to make an impression on just about everyone who ever met her, so much so that they wanted to write about her, sing about her, put her photos on album covers and, of course, film her.”
