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.

The Girl Who Waited
"And do one more thing for me: there's a little girl, waiting in a garden; she's going to wait a long while, so she is going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that, if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates, she'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived, and save a whale in outer space. Tell her: This is the story of Amelia Pond - and this, is how it ends."
Amelia Pond is from the TV show Doctor Who on the BBC.
