Ten unforgettable quotes from "The Fault in our Stars" recall the feeling of joy, enthusiasm and pain as one fight for another person's combats with time and sickness. Join Augustus and Hazel as they share their love and dependence on one another as they battle with cancer.

We listed ten quotes from the novel to inspire you to hope again:

1. "Thank you for explaining that my eye cancer isn't going to make me deaf. I feel so fortunate that an intellectual giant like yourself would deign to operate on me."

2. "I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before his recurrence that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up that you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that 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."

3. "It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities."

4. "You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect."

5. "Only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn't unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn't want to."

6. "You're arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile and rare. But that's a lie, and you know it."

7. "You say you're not special because the world doesn't know about you, but that's an insult to me. I know about you."

8. "Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it's worth."

9. "I will not tell you our love story, because-like all real love stories-it will die with us,as it should."

10. "You could hear the wind in the leaves, and on that wind traveled the screams of the kids on the playground in the distance, little kids figuring out how to be alive, how to navigate a world that wasn't made for them by navigating a playground that was."
