And I bought tfios a fortnight ago but never bothered to read it as monthly test was approaching. But the test thingy settled in. That's why I have made up my mind to read it asap. Okay, initially I was planning to read a few chapters, or maybe just a few pages. Nevertheless, I literally ended up reading the whole book. Okay, I admit I'm sometime a typical book-addict. I read the book roughly, merely because I skipped some difficult vocabularies and medical terms and etcetera. I dare not say I have the story in my finger tips. Nonetheless, I like the story, mainly. I like the way this author write and the unexpected twist of story which tangled my heart. This story is pretty touchy. In fact, I really did shed tears while reading. I don't sob hard, I will leave this to watching the actual movie then.
I don't quite get the title of tfios. Instead, I have goggled it up awhile ago. Tfios comes from a line in Shakespeare's play in Julius Caeser where Caeser says, The fault, dear Brutus is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings. Okay, to the down-to-earth extremely superficial person like me, I don't get it. Google then explains, Caeser seems to be saying that it's not fate that dooms men, but instead their own failings.
I practically think that to err is human. Death is an inevitable cycle of life, as if some repercussions just cannot be avoided. We, human beings are too weak and way too fragile to make any changes to the environment, be it the Universe. What can we change back then ? We can change our point of views, we change our heart. These little actions of changing will eventually lead to a gargantuan metamorphosis to you and those around you. You don't see it with your naked eyes, but it is happening simultaneously. Despite the inevitable, life still goes on.
Some remarkable quotes which I fancy in tfios :
1. The marks human leave are too often scars.
2. Some infinites are bigger than other infinites.
3. The world is not a wish-granting factory.
