Eye contact Quote by John Green
““I would've told her that Davis and I never talked much, or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter, because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate that eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.””
