"...But for now let me say, without hope or agenda, just because it's Christmas and at Christmas time you tell the truth, to me you are perfect and my wasted heart will always love you..."
”..to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.”
"We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh? 'Cause it was, you know. It was the best."
"All that is gold does not glitter;
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither;
Deep roots are not touched by the frost."
-J.R.R. Tolkien
“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. 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. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”
-Hazel GraceOkay so I may or may not be continuing with my obsession over The Fault In Our Stars. The story is told from Hazel's perspective, so the majority of the incredibly inspiring quotes I've found come from her thoughts. As a cancer patient, she has an interesting view of the world around her and how her life affects those around her. This quote, however, was said about/to Augustus Waters (whom I have already quoted).
