"I am in love with you," he insisted. "I am in love with you and I do not care to deprive myself of the simple pleasure of saying true things. I am in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, that oblivion is inevitable and that we are all doomed, and there will come a day when all our labor will be turned to dust again, I know the sun will swallow the only earth we will ever have, and I am in love with you." When Hazel meets Augustus, she discovers in him a kindred spirit and with him she will share her fears, anxieties, concerns, but also a love that touches the most intimate corners of their souls. The two of them, with a subversive sense of humor and raw honesty, will try to jointly seek personal answers to universal questions of human existence.
