John Green &gt; quotes <br /> <br /> <br /> See if your friends have read any of John Green&#039;s books. <br /> Sign up &raquo; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;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?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot; <br /> &mdash; John Green

&ldquo;Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.&rdquo; - Laozi<br /> &quot;God does not give heed to the ambitiousness of our prayers, because he is always ready to give to us his light, not a visible light but an intellectual and spiritual one; but we are not always ready to receive it when we turn aside and down to other things out of a desire for temporal things.&quot;-Saint Augustine<br /> &quot;Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.&quot; - John F Kennedy
