Top 15 Favorite John Green Quotes

Manda was nice enough to do another henna tattoo for me. So far the tattoos she has done for me have been quotes. This one is no different. It's one of my favorite John Green quotes, snaking up my arm. I had a few people ask what it said today. I'd yank up my sleeve and recite the quote: "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations." It's from his latest book The Fault in Our Stars. Thinking about that quote made me want to compile a list of some of my favorite quotes of his. Most are from his books, a few from his YouTube channel. Here they are in no particular order.

"My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."*
