Quote by John Green
We live in a universe devoted to the creation, and eradication, of awareness. Augustus Waters did not die after a lengthy battle with cancer. He died after a lengthy battle with human consciousness, a victim - as you will be - of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible.
Summary
This quote conveys the idea that the universe is fundamentally centered around the existence and eventual end of consciousness. The death of Augustus Waters is portrayed not solely as a result of battling cancer, but rather as a consequence of contending with the profound awareness that defines humanity. It implies that every individual, like Augustus, will ultimately fall prey to the universal process of creating and destroying everything that can exist.
