"I don't understand the point of crying. Also I feel that crying is almost like, totally avoidable if you follow two very simple rules: 1. Don't care too much. 2. Shut up."

"his problems are so huge that yours can hide behind them."

"Tiny punches me in the arm in a way that he thinks is playful but actually causes permanent nerve damage."

"Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does."

"I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me."

"that has to get to you after a while, being surrounded by people who will never like you for any real reason."

"everyone in our school has afterschool activities. mine is going home."

"You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot."

"and how is it even possible to be both attracted and not attracted to someone at the very same moment."

"Almost everyone knows better than I do."

"all of them speaking more words per minute than I speak in a day."

"for the first time in my life i realize why hangers are called hangers, because after fifteen minutes of trying things on and throwing them aside, all i want to do is hook one to the top of my closet door, lean my neck into the loop, and let my weight fall."

"a good part of my life has just been erased, and i have no desire to fill in the new blank. leave it empty, i say. just let me die."

"You're a pillar of fabulosity in the community."

"Not that smart. Not that hot. Not that nice. Not that funny. That's me: I'm not that."

"it just goes to show, if you try to ruin someone's life, it only gets better."

"no, what I really want - and what i never get - is to be appreciated. do you know what's it like to work so hard to make sure everyone's happy, and to have not a single person recognize it?"

"Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are."

"it's so cute - there are like two hundred different emotions that flash across his face when he says her name - everything from extreme anxiety to utter bliss."

"it's more like try-error-try-error-try-error-try-error-try-error-try... and at least fifteen more rounds... then try-error-try-it."

"i just want you to be happy. if that's with me or someone else or with nobody. i just want you to be okay with life. with life as it is."

"maybe tonight you're scared of falling, and maybe there's somebody here or somewhere else you're thinking about, worrying over, fretting over, trying to figure out if you want to fall, or how and when you're gonna land, and i gotta tell you friends that to stop thinking about the landing, because it's all about falling."

Review:
- another john green perfection, i'd say. hilarious, dramatic and meaningful. good read!

- my favourite character was will grayson (the john green version). it's must be tough for him to have a best friends who finds a new boyfriend every now and then. and the way john green portrayed his romantic side is adorable.

// i hate it that school's starting. here comes the year of responsibilities and having favourites geez.
// next book: an abundance of katherines.
