“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.”

Okay 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).
