“There are poems inside of you that paper can’t handle”

- Komisch, solange man klein ist, glaubt man, dass man sich jeden Wunsch erfüllen kann. Träume haben keine Grenzen. Ein Kind erwartet das Unerwartete, es glaubt an Wunder, an Märchen und unerschöpfliche Möglichkeiten. Wenn man dann älter wird, zerbricht diese Unschuld, und irgendwann kommt einem die Realität in die Quere, und man muss sich der Erkenntnis beugen, dass man doch nicht alles haben kann, was man möchte, sondern sich mit gewissen Einschränkungen abfinden muss. Oder eben mit der Variante von dem, was man ursprünglich mal wollte. Warum hören wir irgendwann auf, an uns selbst zu glauben? Warum lassen wir unser Leben von Fakten und Zahlen bestimmen statt von Träumen?

LIBRA - The Lame One (September 23 to October 22) Nice to everyone they meet. Their love is one of a kind. Silly, funny and sweet. Have own unique appeal. Most caring person you will ever meet! However, not the kind of person you want to mess with… you might end up crying. Libras can cause as much havoc as they can prevent. Faithful friends to the end. Can hold a grudge for years.

"My biggest mistake other than hurting you was thinking you could fix me. Only I can fix me. I’d like to become the person who actually deserves to be with someone like you. I don’t know how long that’ll take, but I hope you’ll be there when it happens."

“When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he’s everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he’s not easy to spot; he’s really funny , and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.”

I want a boyfriend like Harry Styles who makes dumb jokes. But I laugh anyway. Just because I love him and it makes him happy to make me laugh.

Why did you choose 'Okay' for Augustus's and Hazel's 'Always?' Also, why the always thing?

Well, always is just an inherently ridiculous concept, but of course you want to say it to people you love, right? You want to promise them that you will always love them, that you will always take care of them, that they needn’t worry because you’re always going to be there. You won’t always be there, because at some point you’ll be dead or stuck in traffic or in love with someone else or whatever.

Most of us (me included) don’t think about the ridiculousness of what we’re actually saying when we say, “I’ll love you forever*,” or “”I will always remember this day,” or, “I’ll never forget** you” or whatever. Like, I say those things all the time, like most people do. But Hazel and Augustus are both a...

“Let’s get drunk together so I can kiss you and blame it on the vodka.”

'Geld und Leben. Die beiden Dinge, welche die meisten Menschen allem anderen vorziehen würden - das Problem ist, die Menschen haben den Hang, genau das zu wählen, was am schlechtesten für sie ist.'

“i’d die for her. i love her so much. i don’t know what i would do without her. she’s going through a lot right now. i wish i could just kiss away the pain, make it go away, stop it, kill it! if she, you know, (gets teary eyed) i don’t know what i would do. i’d kill myself. i love that girl. i love her. i love her almost more than i love myself”
