Any favorite quotes?

I realized I have too many to pick from, I don't even know where to start, the first thing that comes to mind without even looking at all the highlights in the book, though, is this one: "The world is not a wish-granting factory"

The first quote that comes to mind is the one that Augustus says at the first meeting with him and Hazel says something back that's kind of rhetorical. The only thing I remember about it was that Augustus was afraid of Oblivion.

The saddest quote is Isaac's prefuneral eulogy for Gus. It hurts like hell and when Hazel talks about the rating of pain in the ER and of cours :okay.

"okay?" "okay"

I dont know its simpe words actually. but seems so fine, deep and tragic in TFIOS

I agree! they contain so much meaning :(

I think one of the saddest quotes is when Gus says that he 'lit up like a Christmas tree'

I'm sure many people have felt that way with cancer. I lit up like a Christmas tree.

A Christmas tree is such a happy thing but in relation to cancer it is really hard hitting

I know :(
they're like dont wanna complaints and feels sorry bout their self, so instead saying how hurt it is or asking are you feel hurt right now. They choose simple words like "Okay" to described them :')

'After all, the world is not a wish-granting factory'. is one of the quotes I absolutely enjoy!

So true too.

One that really sticks with me is 'Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.'

I agree. That's one of my favorites.

My two favorites are "The world is not a wishing factory" and "some infinities are bigger than other infinities".

'Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children,' one of my favourites :)

Okay- is the funniest part of the book, that got me smiling every time!

There is too many
"My thoughts are stars i cannot fathom into constellations"
"maybe okay will be our always"
"It would be a pleasure to have my heart broken by you, Hazel Grace"
"Lonely, vaguely pedophilic swing set seeks the butts of children"
"I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up"

I love so many of the quotes, but my favorite is, of course:
"I do, Augustus.
I do."
Did the last line remind anyone else of a wedding?

"I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up my friend"

I loved Isaac's pre- funeral speech. Especially:

When the scientists of the future show up with robot eyes, I will tell them to screw off, because I don't want to see a world without him.

I know it isn't the whole quote but I was really crying my eyes off in this part

I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly and then all at once

I love that quote ❤️

"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities" ~ Peter Van Houten
AND:
"I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes UP, my friend" ~ Augustus Waters <3

There's a zillion, but I think my favorite was "I didn't call it a nine cause I was brave. The reason I called it a nine was... I was saving my ten. And this was it. The great and terrible ten."

"My thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations"

and

"But I believe in true love, you know? I don’t believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as long as your life does."

- "I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once."
- "The world is not a wish granting factory."
- "It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."
- "Sometimes, it seems the universe just wants to be noticed."
- "That's the thing about pain. It demands to be fet."
- "I think forever is an incorrect concept."
And then of course the part where Augustus professes his love for Hazel Grace on the airplane.

"Always"

Thank you! They are all so Perfect!

There's just so many to choose from ! The entire book is filled with emotional quotes. I loved Isaac's prefuneral eulogy for Gus, it was just so so hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. Especially the part where he says " When the scientists in the future show up with robot eyes I will tell them to screw off because I don't want to see a world without him".
Apart from this I also loved "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations ". Oh and the " I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once" <3

I have a tattoo from The Fault in Our Stars. It says...
"Some infinities are bigger than other infinities"

I love how many good deep quotes there are in this book but I think it’s very sweet when Isaac said

“A life without Augustus”
Computer: “I don’t understand”
“Yeah me neither”
I think that “chapter” was just perfect because It began so hilarious with the banging the wall (don’t worry I know about that) and it ended with a very funny character that is always playing around being sweet

Also the prefuneral scene when isaac gives his speech is very wholesome and warmed my heart

this one is greatly underappreciated....... the one about Zeno's tortoise paradox. it gives you a lot of insight into Van Houting's character

I love when Hazel just shouts, “What is this life!”

‘As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once’

I just think this is beautiful and really captures Hazel’s feelings.

"And only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation."

“Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him
