Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.”

    John Green
    “Do you have a Wish?' he asked, referring to this organization, The Genie Foundation, which is in the business of granting sick kids one wish.
    'No' I said. 'I used my Wish pre-Miracle.'
    'What'd you do?'
    I sighed loudly. 'I was thirteen,' I said.
    'Not Disney,' he said.
    I said nothing.
    'You did not go to Disney World.'
    I said nothing.
    'HAZEL GRACE!' he shouted. 'You did not use your one dying Wish to go to Disney World with your parents.'
    'Also Epcot Center,' I mumbled.
    'Oh, my God,' Augustus said. 'I can't believe I had a crush on a girl with such cliché wishes.”
