20 quotes from TFIOS that pinched my heart:
1. “Maybe okay will be our always.”
2. "You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I’m grateful.”
3. “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.”
4. “You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world … but you
do have some say in who hurts you.”
do have some say in who hurts you.”
5. "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.”
6. "Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used
to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I
resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than
I'm likely to get,and God, I want more numbers for Augustus
Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how
thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the
world."
7. "That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.”
8. “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.”
9. “Without pain, how could we know joy?' This is an old argument
in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack
of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries."
10. “You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not
lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you
will fail.”
11. “The pleasure of remembering had been taken from me,
because there was no longer anyone to remember with. It felt
like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself,
as if the things we'd done were less real and important than
they had been hours before.”
12. "Everybody should have true love, and it should last at least as
long as your life does.”
13. “There is no shortage of fault to be found amid our stars”
14. “Come over here so I can examine your face with my hands
and see deeper into your soul than a sighted person ever
could.”
15. "It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still
infinite forever"
16. “You say you're not special because the world doesn't know
about you, but that's an insult to me. I know about you.”
17. “Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it’s worth.”
18. “I will not tell you our love story, because-like all real love
stories-it will die with us,as it should.”
19. “I love you present tense.”
20. “So I wasn't lying, exactly. I was just choosing among truths.”
