John Green Quotes About Culture

Quotes about: Culture

• Don't lie to anyone, but particularly don't lie to millennials. They just know. They can smell it. Be yourself: if you're old, be old. If you don't know anything about pop culture, don't pretend to know anything about pop culture. When you credit teenagers with intelligence and emotional sophistication, they respond intelligently and with emotional sophistication.

But along the way maybe we've lost some of what I think of as the power of straightforward emotion and earnestness and seriousness.
