Ten unforgettable quotes from "The Fault In Our Stars" prompt our minds to remember Augustus and Hazel who met each other in a cancer support group then eventually fell in love with each other. Tragically, one needed to leave the other as their sickness blow their frail being away.
Following are ten quotes from the novel:
1. "The marks humans leave are too often scars."
2. "Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal."
3. "You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful."
4. "There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful."
5. "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."
6. "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."
7. "Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin."
8. "You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail."
9. "The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture."
10. "I wanted to know that he would be okay if I died. I wanted to not be a grenade, to not be a malevolent force in the lives of people I loved."
