I'm not... I'm not without a heart, ' he heard Sophia say, her chin raised, eyes straight ahead. 'I'm not. I just don't have the luxury of being soft. I am trying to survive.

About This Quote

Sophia is a character from the book “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green. She is a teen who has cancer and has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She was diagnosed when she was 11, and she is now 15 years old. She fights to live every day for herself and for the people she loves.

There are times where she cries because of the pain she is experiencing, but her love for those around her gives her strength to keep going. Her father had never been able to find a job because of his poor health so he often had to rely on her financial support. And, even though they have been separated for a while now, she still struggles to pay the medical payments for those treatments that would save his life.
