“You are everything that's ever been my favourite thing," she wanted to tell him. "You're my love song, my birthday cake, the sound of ocean waves and French words and a baby's laugh. You're a snow angel, crème brulée, a kaleidoscope filled with glitter. I love you and you'll never catch up, because I've gotten a head start and my heart is racing at light speed.”

“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.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“¿Qué significaba esto? ¡Qué forma tan extraña de proceder conmigo, como si yo fuese el más insignificante de los seres! «Tal vez todos los de la Casa Antigua no sean más que de mi imaginación mientras escribo – estuve pensando -, pues yo soy el que les ha dado la vida al permitirles anidar en esta faceta donde antes solamente había unos desiertos blancos y rectangulares de papel. Si no estuviera yo, todos aquellos que andan a través de los cauces estrechos de mis líneas, jamás serían conocidos por nadie».
Desde luego, nada de todo esto le dije a la vieja, pues sé por experiencia que para un ser humano es la mayor de las afrentas el poner en duda su propia realidad, el dudar de su realidad tridimensional.”

“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.”
