John Green’s use of words is amazing; they are both simple and complex. The novel will make you chuckle as well as tear your heart out. No, it’s not a book about cancer. It’s so wonderfully heartbreaking that you’ll remember it for the rest of your life. You’ll gently but steadily fall in love with Hazel and Augustus all at once! Here are a few of the best quotes from The Fault In Our Stars.
The title of the book is derived from Shakespeare’s famous remark from ‘Julius Caesar,’ “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, for we are underlings.” John Green expresses the notion that, despite the defects of our fate, we may flourish and live a happy and satisfying life through the title of his book.
Few characters since Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love as eloquently as Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters in The Fault In Our Stars. And every reader who is presently stuffing Kleenex into their pockets in anticipation of seeing them fall in love (“slowly, then all at once”) on huge screens tomorrow has a favorite line or two that MUST be included in the film.
John Green’s characters’ lips were full of sweet and bitter insights on love, life, death, and gratitude, all scientifically crafted to elicit a ridiculous amount of tears from readers.
