“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
Hazel (p.125)

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.


“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
Hazel (p.33)

“Without pain, how could we know joy?′ This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.”

“Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be nothing but a Sadness in their lives, and you must not become a mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow even though your throat does not want to close and you look at the person who loves you and smile.”

“The world is not a wish-granting factory.” The 16 and 17 year old characters from the book were both suffering from what Hazel calls “a symptom of dying” which is cancer. Their world really should have been a wish-granting factory, but it wasn’t.

My world is not so tough. It’s quite good, actually. But sometimes, I do wish I had a wish-granting factory. I would use it for good, of course. Help those in need and all. Also, I would be a little selfish, as I’m sure most of us would.

Maybe that’s
why
the world is not a wish granting factory. The world wants us to work for our wishes, so when we get them it’s because we earned them. And if we don’t get them in the end, well, I guess that just means someone else deserved it m
