Please be warned, these are favorite quotes directly from the book.

Chapter One

“They don’t kill you unless you light them,” he said as Mom arrived at the curb.  “And I’ve never lit one.  It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.”

Chapter Four

“That’s the thing about pain,” Augustus said, and then glanced back at me.  “It demands to be felt.”

Chapter Five

“Okay,” he said after forever.  “Maybe okay will be our always.”
“Okay,” I said.

“Hazel GRACE!” he shouted. “You did not use your one dying Wish to go to Disney World with your parents.”
“Also Epcot Center,” I mumbled.
“Oh, my God,” Augustus said.  “I can’t believe I have a crush on a girl with such cliché wishes.”

“God, you’re the best,” I told him.
“I bet you say that to all the boy who finance your international travel,” he answered.

Chapter Six

Chapter Seven

“Thanks for not trying to see me when I looked like hell.”
“To be fair, you still look pretty bad.”

Chapter Eight

“Okay, please draw a circle.” I did.  “Now draw a smaller circle within that circle.” I did.  “The larger circle is virgins.  The smaller circle is seventeen-year-old guys with one leg.”

“I must see this old swing set of tears immediately,” he said.

“Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children,” I said.

“That’s why I like you.  Do you realize how rare it is to come across a hot girl who creates an adjectival version of the word pedophile?  You are so busy being you that you have no idea how utterly unprecedented you are.”

Chapter Nine

“I’ve gotten really hot since you went blind.”

Chapter Ten

“I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.  I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
