Quotes and Passages
"Your realize that that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail."-Gus
This quote proves the love Gus has for Hazel is so strong that she herself can't even keep him from her. It also reveals that Gus clearly knows that Hazel doesn't break his heart if she were to pass away and he doesn't care because he states in another passage "Oh, i wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."
