Quote by John Green

I thought: This is not good. I though: I am not bad at kissing. Not at bad at all. I thought: I am clearly the greatest kisser in the history of the universe.

I thought: This is not good. I though: I am not bad at kissi

Summary

This quote reflects a moment of ego and exaggerated self-confidence. The speaker engages in excessive self-praise after a kissing experience, believing themselves to be exceptionally skilled at it. It highlights how one's perception can be inflated with pride and overestimate their abilities. However, the quote also captures the humorous nature of fleeting moments when our self-assurance gets the better of us.
