My goodness I adore this book. The portrayal of mental illness and pain is so spot on. 

The term chronic pain captures nothing of the grinding, constant, ceaseless, inescapable hurt. And the term crazy arrives at us with none of the terror and worry you live with. Nor do either of those terms connote the courage people in such pains exemplify

Thank you John Green for another modern classic, there are so many life-altering quotes in this book. Each one is a tasty morsel.
