The fault in our stars book quotes and page numbers

Logging out…

Hazel, usually incredibly rational for an adolescent, especially in the case of fending off Augustus's romantic advances, thinks this when Augustus reads to her from her favorite book after placing the post about the swing set. Hazel is not completely sold, however, keeping her love secret from Gus and denying him both a kiss in the park and a return "I love you" on the airplane to Amsterdam. This internal conflict between love and safety is turned on its head when Augustus becomes sick, and Hazel eventually realizes that it may be better to allow oneself to fall into love, like in this quote, even at the chance or certainty of being hurt. The nature of books themselves is major theme in The Fault in Our Stars , giving the book a meta-fictional sense. Based on the rave reviews Green's book has received, The Fault in Our Stars may be one such book that causes love and evangelism. Depicting Hazel as a devoted reader also makes the book's reader feel akin to her, an important quality to establish early on in a book for young adult audiences, especially one about a subject that will likely be beyond many readers' capacity for empathy.

All efforts to save me from you will fail. It portrays death truthfully. You die in the middle of your life, in the middle of a sentence. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary? And in freedom, most people find sin. All of us.

The only solution was to try to unmake the world, to make it black and silent and uninhabited again, to return to the moment before the Big Bang, in the beginning when there was the Word, and to live in that vacuous space alone with the Word. Hazel has very strange pain regulation methods. Do you think she thinks these big thoughts because she's contemplating her mortality? Or is she just a deep kid through and through? I tried to tell myself that it could be worse, that the world was not a wish-granting factory, that I was living with cancer not dying of it, that I mustn't let it kill me before it kills me 8.
