7 Heartfelt Quotes from John Green's Books ...

1. Stars

The first time I read this line, I was immediately overwhelmed by how hard it hit me, making this one of the most striking quotes from John Green's books. It's crazy to think about just how much weight your thoughts hold, especially in conjunction with the whole universe. There are so many strands that are linked in some shape or form that it would almost be impossible to fully analyze your own ideas, feelings, or emotions. This book is one of those that is absolutely amazing and a must-read.

2. Connections

This is one of my favorite quotes from his critically acclaimed novel "The Fault in Our Stars". Words can definitely have an immense amount of power. I've always loved reading because of how easy it is to connect with the characters, the stories, and the places. In regard to libraries, it's fascinating to think about how the person who reads the book after you feels. Putting the book down doesn't mean the end of the journey; it signifies the beginning for someone else. If that thought doesn't intrigue you, I don't know what will.

3. Forgiveness

This quote from "Looking For Alaska", my favorite novel from this talented author, is spot on. In order to fully move on, you have to give yourself closure. Holding on to anger will only be damaging towards your physical and mental health. While being able to forgive someone for wrongdoings isn't an easy feat, it's sometimes more important to let go.

4. Over There

I find this quote to be quite earnest and heartfelt at the same time. Thinking of "over there" as the unknown helps put things into perspective. No one knows what the future holds. That's why it's imperative that you keep living your life to the fullest.

5. Promises

This excerpt from "The Fault in Our Stars" is very powerful, revolving around the idea that people often make promises without understanding their full weight. Regardless, this shouldn't dim the meaning of the promise. If you love someone enough, you'll know that the promise is worth keeping.

6. Again and Again

John Green's novel "An Abundance of Katherines" is filled with many stunning lines. When you're in love, the struggles in the past and the unknown elements of the future won't matter as long as your significant other is by your side.

7. Who You Are

You should be able to be yourself without having to worry about what your boyfriend or girlfriend is going to think. There shouldn't be any judgment involved when it comes to love. If someone says that they love you, they have to accept you for who you are, flaws and all.

I can never resist collecting powerful quotes that help bring me closer to my own feelings and beliefs. What are your favorite quotes by John Green? Which of his novels have you read thus far?
