"He's not that smart."She's right, Augustus says. "It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations."Right, it's primarily his hotness."It can be sort of blinding, he said."It actually did blind our friend Isaac."Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?"You cannot."It is my burden, this beautiful face."Not to mention your body."Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away, he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank."

"He was gone and did not have time to tell him what I had just now realized: that I forgave him, and that she forgave us, and that we had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth."
Forgiveness
"Teenagers think they are invincible with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken.

They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail."
