John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

"That’s part of what I like about the book in some ways. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence"

"I don't care if the New York Times writes an obituary for me. I just want you to write one. ... You say you're not special because the world doesn't know about you, but that's an insult to me. I know about you."

"Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal."

"Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."

"I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things."

"I'm a grenade and at some point I'm going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?"

"But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does."

"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."

"But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."

"The marks humans leave are too often scars."

"What a slut time is. She screws everybody."

"There is no try. There is only do."

"You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice."

"I will not tell you our love story, because-like all real love stories-it will die with us,as it should."

"I hadn’t been in proper school in three years. My parents were my two best friends. My third best friend was an author who did not know I existed."

"So dawn goes down today... Nothing gold can stay.-- Robert Frost"

"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."

"We were very different, and we disagreed about a lot of things, but he was always so interesting, you know?"

"Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them,"I said."Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."

"there is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars"
