"What I mean,” Sofia said, “is that when people say right person, wrong time, or wrong person, right time, it’s usually a cop-out. They think that fate is playing with them. That we’re all just participants in this romantic reality show that God gets a kick out of watching. But the universe doesn’t decide what’s right or not right. You do."

"You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices."

"I can’t talk about our love story, so I will talk about math. I am not a mathematician, but I know this: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."

"I’m in love with you,” he said quietly.
“Augustus,” I said.
“I am,” he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. “I’m in love with you, and I am not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.

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

"I liked Augustus Waters. I really, really, really liked him. I liked the way his story ended with someone else. I liked his voice. I liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. I liked that he was a tenured professor in the Department of Slightly Crooked Smiles with a dual appointment in the Department of Having a Voice That Made My Skin Feel More Like Skin."

"My thoughts are stars I can’t fathom into constellations."

"As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once."
- Currently reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, author of one of my all-time favorite YA novels Looking for Alaska. It is now almost 2:00 AM and I am so engrossed in this book that I hope I fall asleep reading it. I stopped to blog this quote. And now I will continue reading.
