The Fault in Our Stars

“Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.

"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. 

That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.” 

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars.

“There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. 

There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember

 that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. 

There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. 

Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten 

and all of this will have been for naught.

 Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away,

 but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. 

There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, 

and there will be time after. 

And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, 

I encourage you to ignore it.

 God knows that’s what everyone else does.”

“You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

“But I believe in true love, you know? 

I don't believe that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or whatever, 

but everybody should have true love, 

and it should last at least as long as your life does.” 
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

....................................

“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.” 

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
