But I believe in true love, you know? I don't believe
that everybody gets to keep their eyes or not get sick or
whatever, but everybody should have true love, and it should last
at least as long as your life does.
“Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in
front of people who loved me, so I knew what Augustus was
doing. You clench your teeth. You look up. You tell yourself
that if they see you cry, it will hurt them, and you will be
nothing but a Sadness in their lives, and you must not become a
mere sadness, so you will not cry, and you say all of this to
yourself while looking up at the ceiling, and then you swallow
even though your throat does not want to close and you look at
the person who loves you and smile.”
There are 313 pages...
We don't meet Augustus until page 8...
He does not speak until page 11...
He leaves us on page 261...
That is 253 pages from when we met him until he leaves...
And within those 253 pages...
He is physically in 172 of them...
And that's all it took.
172 pages for us all to fall in love with Augustus Waters.
And none of us will be the same again...
"Rac ism isn't a problem and its
not relevant anymore"
Yeah, that's why Katniss, Clary, Tris, Hazel, Alaska Young,
Bella, hermione, Harry, Ron, Simon, Pudge, Augustus, Peeta, Gale,
Jace, Four/Tobias, Edward etc. are all white. Totally not a
problem.
