I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence.

I missed the future. Obviously I knew even before his recurrence that I'd never grow old with Augustus Waters. But thinking about Lidewij and her boyfriend, I felt robbed. I would probably never again see the ocean from thirty thousand feet above, so far up that you can't make out the waves or any boats, so that the ocean is a great and endless monolith. I could imagine it. I could remember it. But I couldn't see it again, and it occurred to me that the voracious ambition of humans is never sated by dreams coming true, because there is always the thought that everything might be done better and again.

Sure, anyone can name fourteen dead people. But we're disorganized mourners, so a lot of people end up remembering Shakespeare, and no one ends up remembering the person he wrote Sonnet Fifty-five about.

Headline?" he asked."'Swing Set Needs Home,'" I said."'Desperately Lonely Swing Set Needs Loving Home,'" he said."'Lonely, Vaguely Pedophilic Swing Set Seeks the Butts of Children,'" I said.

Cover me!' Augustus said as he jumped out from behind the wall and raced toward the school. Isaac fumbled for his controller and thenstarted firing while the bullets rained down on Augustus, who was shot once and then twice but still ran, Augustus shouting,'YOU CAN__ KILL MAX MAYHEM!' and with a final flurry of button combinations, he dove onto the grenade, which detonated beneath him. His dismembered body exploded like a geyser and the screen went red. A throaty voice said, 'MISSION FAILURE,' but Augustus seemed to think otherwise as he smiled at his remnants on the screen. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and shoved it between his teeth.'Saved the kids' he said.'Temporarily' I pointed out.'All salvation is temporary' Augustus shot back. 'I bought them a minute. Maybe that__ the minute that buys them an hour, which is the hour that buys them a year. No one__ gonna buy them forever, Hazel Grace, but my life bought them a minute. And that__ not nothing.

He__ not that smart.___he__ right,_ Augustus says. __t__ just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.___ight, it__ primarily his hotness.___t can be sort of blinding,_ he said.__t actually did blind our friend Isaac.___errible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?___ou cannot.___t is my burden, this beautiful face.___ot to mention your body.___eriously, don__ even get me started on my hot bod. You don__ want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace__ breath away,_ he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank.

What a slut time is. She screws with everybody.

I__ in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we__e all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we__l ever have, and I am in love with you.

You gave me a forever within the numbered days and I'm grateful.

It seemed like forever ago, like we've had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

It´s a metaphor: you see, you put the killing thing right between your teeth,you just don't give it the power to do it's killing.

What I love about the sculpture is that it makes the bones that we are always walking and playing on manifest, like in a world that so often denies the reality of death and the reality that we are surrounded by and outnumbered by the dead. Here, is a very playful way of acknowledging that and acknowledging that and that always, whenever we play, whenever we live, we are living in both literal and metaphorical ways on the memory and bones of the dead.

Maybe 'Okay' will be our 'always'...

Some infinites are longer than other infinites
