Quote #7

Augustus did not die after a lengthy battle with cancer. He died after a lengthy battle with human consciousness, a victim—as you will be—of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible. (21.24)

Hazel's responses to religious sentiment don't always go over well. Is her cynical take on the way of the world just a coping mechanism? Or is that just how she sees things?

Quote #8

"In heaven, Augustus will finally be healed and whole," implying that he had been less whole than other people due to his leglessness (22.13)

Well, that's kind of offensive.

Quote #9

I went on spouting bulls*** Encouragements as Gus's parents, arm in arm, hugged each other and nodded at every word. Funerals, I had decided, are for the living. (22.20)

Even if she doesn't believe a word of it, Hazel cannot deny Augustus's parents the comfort of their spirituality.
