Quotations from the book

An Abundance of Katherines

John Green

You're not boring. You've got to stop saying that, or people will start believing you.

—John Green in An Abundance of Katherines

Do you know what your problem is? You can't live with the idea that someone might leave.

—John Green in An Abundance of Katherines

I learned a while ago that the best way to get people to like you is not to like them too much.

—John Green in An Abundance of Katherines

That's why people grow weary of listening to Dumpees obsess over their troubles: getting dumped is predictable, repetitive, and boring. They want to stay friends; they feel smothered; it's always them and it's never you; and afterward, you're devastated and they're relieved; it's over for them and just starting for you.

—John Green in An Abundance of Katherines
