"Love, like life, cannot be let down. 』

God gave them the most beautiful encounter, but deprived them of being together forever. But if you can't change the status quo, then please enjoy the perfection in the imperfection.
[How unfortunate I am. ] Hazel suffered from cancer at the age of 16. At an age when he should be spending his youth recklessly, he has to face the smell of treatment and hospital disinfectant every day. The consumption of the disease on the body is not as painful as ordinary people can imagine. The world seems to be full of malice towards me, but I have not given up on it. The sickness hurts me, and death seems to be imminent.
[How lucky I am. 】Meet the most wonderful you at the most wonderful time. Their encounter is like two shining stars in the sky. After colliding with each other, they can emit a new light... The gray life seems to be mixed with bright colors, every heartbeat, every time Every breath, every minute and every second, even the pain, becomes wonderful. Even though our lives are destined to end earlier, our love remains the same.
Meeting you at the end of my life, one of the reasons that supports me to live is to love you one more day. In my imperfect life, you are the only beauty, and use love to give new value to life.
"Even if a star explodes hundreds of millions of light-years away, the light will remain in the night sky of the earth. Even if we meet in an imperfect destiny, the traces left are not pain, but beautiful defects."
Gus said he wanted to be remembered, not forgotten, and Hazel said forgetting was inevitable. Cherish everyone who appears in your life and continue to live with the flow. Life is a gift. We received this gift as soon as we were born. Maybe some people's lives are like summer flowers and floating. Maybe some people can have long-term happiness. Even if you live an extra day, you will earn it. Compared to them, we have a healthy and healthy life, and we don't have to worry about getting sick or dying in the next second. But far from their active and wonderful lives. In love, we always promise "Forever", but for them, "Okey" is the best promise, and this is their whole life.
"You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful." This is not a pessimistic story, but wants to tell us that we should choose to embrace it rather than resist and reject it after facing up to it. Do you know what is more sad than dying from an illness? You are watching someone die of cancer, and you can only watch this way. I also have a relative who is suffering from cancer. She told me about her pain during chemotherapy and the tingling feeling in her legs when she was treated with white needles. I was very distressed and distressed, but I couldn't do anything. The only thing we can do is to constantly encourage each other. There must always be a reason to support us to live well. I know how horrible death is and how cruel the disease is. I know I can't describe it accurately, but I just hope everyone is well. The gift of life, no matter how bad it is, there will always be some beauty in imperfection. May everyone treat this gift kindly and live up to it.



Each of us will die one day. There will be a day when no one in the world will stay and remember that anyone has ever existed, or that human beings have ever done anything. No one will remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything human beings have ever done, built, written, thought about, or discovered will be forgotten, and it will all be worthless. Maybe that day will come soon, maybe in a few million years, but even if humanity survives the crisis of a solar collapse, it will not survive forever. A long time elapses before the creature becomes conscious, and time exists after the creature has passed away. If the inevitable human forgetfulness worries you, I advise you to ignore him, because so does everyone else.
--John Green, "The Fault in Our Stars"

    Three and a half. Such stories always ask a question about life and death, and then try to answer with love. In the end, they could not clarify the context of life, nor could they defeat death, they were still small, and they still loved each other.

    More painful than getting cancer is watching your child get cancer. Probably credited to the original author, the dialogue is genuine and touching. But the main character's character is really unpleasant.

The Fault in Our Stars quotes

  • Hazel Grace Lancaster: Hello. My name is Hazel Grace Lancaster. And Augustus Waters was the star-crossed love of my life. Ours is an epic love story and I probably won't be able to get more than a sentence out without disappearing into a puddle of tears. Like all real love stories, ours will die with us, as it should. You know, I'd kind of hoped that he'd be the one eulogizing me, because there is really no one else... Yeah, no, um... I'm not gonna talk about our love story, 'cause I can't. So instead I'm gonna talk about math. I'm not a mathematician, but I do know this: There are infinite numbers between zero and one. There's point one, point one two, point one one two, and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger set of infinite numbers between zero and two or between zero and a million. Some infinities are simply bigger than other infinities. A writer that we used to like taught us that. You know, I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, do I want more days for Augustus Waters than what he got. But Gus, my love, I can not tell you how thankful I am, for our little infinity. You gave me a forever, within the numbered days. And for that I am... I am eternally grateful. I love you so much.

    Augustus Waters: I love you too.

    Augustus Waters: [voice over, from his eulogy to Hazel] Mr. Van Houten. I'm a good person, but a shitty writer. You're a shitty person, but a good writer. I think we'd make a good team. I don't wanna ask you for any favors, but if you have the time - and from what I saw you had plenty - please fix this for me: It's a eulogy for Hazel. She asked me to write one, and I'm trying, but I just... I could use a little flair. See, the thing is... we all wanna be remembered. But Hazel's different. Hazel knows the truth. She didn't want a million admirers, she just wanted one. And she got it. Maybe she wasn't loved widely, but she was loved deeply. And isn't that more than most of us get? When Hazel was sick, I knew I was dying, but I didn't wanna say so. She was in the ICU when I snuck in for ten minutes and I just sat with her before I got caught. Her eyes were closed, her skin pale, but her hands were still her hands, still warm, and her nails were painted this dark blue black color, and... I just held them. And I willed myself to imagine a world without us and what a worthless world that would be. She's so beautiful. You don't get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she's smarter than you, 'cause you know she is. She's funny without ever being mean. I love her. God, I love her, I'm so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have a say in who hurts you. And I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. Okay, Hazel Grace?

    Hazel Grace Lancaster: Okay.
