John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

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

"Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence"

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

"Augustus,"I said. "Really. You don't have to do this.""Sure I do,"he said. "I found my Wish.""God, you're the best,"I told him."I bet you say that to all the boys who finance your international travel,"he answered."

"Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But, in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying."

"Neither novels or their readers benefit from any attempts to divine whether any facts hide inside a story. Such efforts attack the very idea that made-up stories can matter, which is sort of the foundational assumption of our species."

"You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect."

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

"Maybe 'Okay' will be our 'always'..."

"You are so busy being YOU that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are."

"Because there is no glory in illness. There is no meaning to it. There is no honor in dying of."

"As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."

"What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers."

"Love is keeping the promise anyway."

"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"

"Maybe 'okay' will be our 'always"

"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."

"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."

"I'll fight it. I'll fight it for you. Don't you worry about me, Hazel Grace. I'm okay. I'll find a way to hang around and annoy you for a long time."
