For me, this quote is important because Hazel feels insecure all of the time, wearing tubes that help her lungs to get needed oxygen while also having to roll around an oxygen tank. So by Augustus admitting to her that he loves her, exactly 4 times, means that despite her struggles and issues that she feels insecure with, he will take her for who she is, because he simply loves her that way.And then at the very end of the quote, after his whole speech, he says, " and I'm in love with you." This is very important because he doesn't say," but I'm in love with you." When he says ,"and" , for me it shows that he will love her with all of their struggles, not despite their struggles. As I read further into this book, this is very important to the plot because Augustus's doctor's just detected more cancer in his body and Hazel still has remaining cancer that cannot be removed, so if Augustus truly loves her, hopefully he will still support and love her through his own struggles now.Saturday, April 5, 2014
The Fault in our Stars; Most Important Quote
The most important quote from the book The Fault in our Stars would have to be in chapter 10 on page 153 where Augustus admits to Hazel that he is in love with her. " 'I'm in love with you,' he said quietly. 'Augustus,' I said. 'I am,' he said...'I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will shallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I'm in love with you.' "

I also chose this quote as the most important one in The Fault in our Stars in an earlier blog post. I really enjoyed this post as well as the book. :)
ReplyDeleteI am also reading that book, I haven't gotten that far yet but it sounds so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt was very easy to hear your voice throughout your writing. One picky book-reader note: Gus' cancer coming back is somewhat of a surprise. Note in the blog that there is going to be spoilers for those who haven't read please!
ReplyDeleteWow! I haven't read this book yet, but I really enjoy your attention to detail when you noticed the difference between "but" and "and". I never would havenoticed that! I am really eager to read this book now!
