Would you like to share a memory of Augustus with the group?””I wish I would just die, Patrick. Do you ever wish you would just die?””Yes,” Patrick said, without his usual pause. “Yes, of course. So why don’t you?”I thought about it. My old stock answer was that I wanted to stay alive for my parents, because they would be all gutted and childless in the wake of me, and that was still kind of true, but that wasn’t it exactly. “I don’t know.””In the hopes that you’ll get better?””No,” I said. “No, it’s not that. I don’t really know. Isaac?” I asked. I was tired of talking. Isaac started talking about true love. I couldn’t tell them what I was thinking because it seemed cheesy to me, but I was thinking about the universe wanting to be noticed, and how I had to notice it as best I could. I felt that I owed a debt to the universe that only my attention could repay, and also that I owed a debt to everybody who didn’t get to be a person anymore and everyone who hadn’t gotten to be a person yet. What my dad had told me, basically. ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
