from John Green's The Fault In Our Stars

"Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you."

The Fault in Our Stars (p.286)

"The truth is, we have to learn to live with abiguity. Ambiguity is a huge part of the human experience, and we have to find a way to be okay with it. Reading about ambiguous situations -- at least for me -- is a way of coming to terms with the complexity of meaning in our world."
