The best novel I have ever read. Within it holds every quality that I could ever want in a novel. Humor, romance, heartache, happiness. Hazel Grace's sarcastic personality is ever so captivating and Augustus Waters' metaphorically driven charm compliments and enhances the best in Hazel.
Below are some of my favorite quotes from the novel. So many more, but not enough space.
Hazel Grace: "I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."
Augustus Waters: "I want to see you again tonight. But I'm willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow."
Augustus Waters: "You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing."
Augustus Waters: "Because you're beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence."
Peter Van Houten: "Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of stars to cross."
Hazel Grace: "You're arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile and rare."
Hazel Grace: "Easy comfort isn't comforting."
Augustus Waters: "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 in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you."
Augustus Waters: "The marks humans leave are too often scars."
Augustus Waters: "But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar."
