Ten unforgettable quotes from "The Fault in Our Stars" recollect the bliss that Hazel and Augustus brought to people surrounding them despite their illness. The story based on John Green's novel is narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, a cancer patient forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she meets Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee whom she later fall in love with.
Here are ten memorable lines from the novel:
1. "The joy you bring us is so much greater than the sadness we feel about your illness."
2. "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."
3. "And then there are books, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal."
4. "Without pain, how can we know joy?"
5. "..but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was a time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."
6. "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."
7. "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."
8. "It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."
9. "You can judge people by the way they treat waiters and assistance."
10. "Sometimes I dream that I'm writing a memoir. A memoir would just be the thing to keep me in the hearts and memories of my adoring public."
