- "‘I can’t talk about our love story, so I will talk about math. I am not a mathematician, but I know this: There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There’s .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of any unbounded set. 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.’"

- Keep your options open.
- Money is like monure, it works best when spread around. It does no good when it's just piled in one spot.
- Everything is always worse when you are tired and/or hungry. Take a nap, drink some tea, calm your mind and then hit the technical stuff.
- Your emotions feel the most intense when you are young. Don't worry, as you get older, things will get easier to deal with.
- Don't do anything you wouldn't want to be on the front page of the New York Times.
- Do everything, Commit to Nothing
- Don't say anything behind someones back you wouldn't say to their face.
- Your brain is like a muscle, you have to use it ever day but it will get stronger and stronger. Just do a little bit everyday.
