The Fault in our Stars is a book written by John Green about two star-crossed lovers. It is tragic. It is beautiful. And, above all else, it has some very mature lessons about what love is supposed to be in its purest form. Audiences were able to then enjoy the movie adaptation of the beloved book and cry puddles and puddles of tears as they watched a tremendous love story come to life on the big-screen.
Here are some quotes from TFIOS that prove how real love can be. I challenge you to delve back into the love story of Hazel and Gus without becoming a big, sniffling mess of emotion. Enjoy.
1. “As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.?? -Hazel
2. ??I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.
