Quote by John Green

Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.

Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.

Summary

This quote suggests that grief does not fundamentally alter one's identity, but rather exposes one's true self. It implies that when faced with loss or suffering, suppressed aspects of a person's character come to light. In times of grief, people may unveil their vulnerability, resilience, or hidden emotions. Rather than transforming individuals, grief acts as a catalyst, shedding light on their authentic nature and displaying who they truly are beneath the surface.
