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. But, 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.

- John Green, The Fault in Our Stars, 2012
- The voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.
- John Green, The Fault in Our Stars, 2012
- We are like a bunch of dogs squirting on fire hydrants. We poison the groundwater with our toxic piss, marking everything MINE in a ridiculous attempt to survive our deaths.
