Love is keeping the promise anyway. - John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

"Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you."

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

"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."

"He specialized in the murder of dreams, Hazel Grace..."

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