John Green Quote
You couldn't be more wrong, I said. You are buying into the cross-stitched sentiments of your parents' throw pillows. 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. You're a hard person to comfort , Augustus said. Easy comfort isn't comforting, I said. You were a rare and fragile flower once. You remember. For a moment he said nothing. You do know how to shut me up, Hazel Grace. It's my privilege and responsibility, I answered.
