I can find no words to describe how I feel and what I think of the movie.
I was touched by how fully Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters live their lives in their final days.
I was reminded how to live without regrets.
Here are some of my favourite quotes.
“……All salvation is temporary," Augustus shot back. "I bought them a minute. Maybe that`s the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one`s gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute.”
Despite not being forever, can we say it’s worthless and we’d better not start anything?
“……I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, 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.”
“I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”
Dear all, we may leave anyway but it does not stop us from doing things despite the reality that it will be forgotten some day, just as we will still choose to love though we know one of us will leave first, with the other half living with pain. Still, we choose to love, right?
