The idea for this blog, I suppose, is centered around having your world shattered by a piece of literature or film. Many of us have experienced this feeling that John Green's character, Hazel Grace, describes so accurately. This phenomenon is not limited to books, however. Often times a character in a film or show will have a line or monologue that is as beautifully written (and spoken) as any brilliant piece of literature.
