People Who Hurt You

‘You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world… but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.’ I think this quote states the complete truth. Although you are bound to get hurt at some point in your life, you can still control who hurts you in the end. You decide whom you surround yourself with and you give them the ability to hurt you. I believe that Augustus was trying to say that if he were to get hurt, he is glad it is because of the people he cares about. This is one of the quotes from The Fault In Our Stars that resonates with you for a long time.

UPD:

The Fault in Our Stars is a bestselling novel by John Green, published in 2012. It follows the story of two cancer-stricken teenagers, Hazel and Augustus, who meet at a cancer support group and later fall in love. The novel has been adapted into a 2014 movie, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, which was a huge success and received positive reviews from critics. The novel and movie have become hugely popular, and many of the quotes from the story have become widely known and often quoted.

My Thoughts

‘My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.’ What I love the most about Augustus is that he is able to express his thoughts in the perfect format, even if he believes he is not capable of doing so. This quote accurately explains those thoughts that run through our mind which we are not able to put logically together. This is what makes the book so relatable and this is what attaches the readers to this particular work of art.

3

You Gave Me a Forever

‘I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You gave me forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful.’ This is one of the many quotes that literally brought me to tears. There is so much emotion in this group of words that it is truly hard to bear when you get to know the characters and learn their stories.

4

Reading a Book

‘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.’ The two main characters, Hazel and Augustus were able to form a strong connection through sharing books, which they valued the most. It is as if they gave a piece of each other to one another. This quote explains that exact feelings you get after you read a book that changes your life and that is the exact feeling I got after reading The Fault In Our Stars.

5

Falling in Love

‘As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.’ In a way this line perfectly captures how many of us fall in love. At first we are hesitant to get attached but later we can’t hold any feeling back. Love just sucks us in all at once! It is a sweet feeling that we get to experience only a few times in our whole lifetime.

I Am a Grenade

‘I’m a grenade and at some point I’m going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?’ As readers, we learn about the deeper mental set of Hazel with the help of this quote. It truly shows how she feels about getting close to people because she is afraid of ‘ruining’ them. She feels like anyone or anything around her is exposed to immediate danger, therefore she prefers to limit any contact and not be responsible for any ‘casualties’.

UPD:

The Fault in Our Stars, written by John Green, was published in 2012 and quickly became a best-seller. It tells the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old cancer patient, and Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee. The novel follows the two as they navigate their relationship and their individual struggles with cancer.

The quote “I’m a grenade and at some point I’m going to blow up and I would like to minimize the casualties, okay?” comes from the novel and encapsulates Hazel’s feelings about getting close to people. She is fearful of ‘ruining’ them and causing them harm, so she prefers to limit any contact she has with them.

The Fault in Our Stars has been praised for its honest and heartbreaking portrayal of young people living with cancer. The novel has inspired millions of readers around the world and has been adapted into a major motion picture. It has won numerous awards, including the 2014 Edgar Award for Best Young Adult novel.

The World

‘The world is not a wish granting factory.’ This quote reoccurs throughout the majority of the book and it truly embodies the reality of life even if it is very pessimistic. While you might get the chance to bring one of your wishes to life, not all of them will come true. You can’t expect everything to go the way you want to because you will stumble upon not so pleasant situations here and there.

The Fault in Our Stars has really opened up my eyes on a lot of things. While it is a fictional book, it still taught me how short life can be and how important numbered days can become. It is a really touching book that everyone should get the chance to read. What are some of your favorite quotes from the book?
