"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."
— John Green


I like it when you smile;
when you're happy it shows.
When you laugh you get a crinkle in your nose
and it's cute.

I like how when we talk
we can never get bored.
Even in the silence it could never
be awkward.

I like the look in your eyes
and the part in your hair
and the way you speak like nobody else is there
but us.
