John Green Hope Quote Bot“A lot of times good news happens slowly and bad news happens all at once. And so we tend to focus on the bad news that’s crashing over us in waves, and not on the slow long-term work that people are doing together to try to make a better world for us to share.”
— John Green, in conversation with Steve Levitt on People I (Mostly) Admire
“I reread the work of my friend and mentor Amy Krouse Rosenthal, who’d died a few months earlier. She’d once written, ‘For anyone trying to discern what to do with their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. That’s pretty much all the info you need.’”
— John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed
“We are at once far too powerful and not nearly powerful enough. We are powerful enough to radically reshape Earth’s climate and biodiversity, but not powerful enough to choose how we reshape them.”
— John Green
"Actually, the problem is that I can't lose my mind," I said. "It's inescapable."
- John Green
"What I love about science is that as you leam, you don't really get answers. You just get better questions."
- John Green
"No one ever says goodbye unless they want to see you again"
- John Green

Aaron LongchampsWant some truly awesome news? The Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone opened last week! This is going to be a huge deal for the families in that country.
They had 13 deliveries and admitted 27 patients on the first day.

The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me, because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we’d done were less real and important than they had been hours before.
