Look, everyone talks about the unknown like it's some big scary thing, but it's the familiar that's always bothered me. It's heavy, builds up around you like rocks, until it's walls and a ceiling and a cell.

About This Quote

In the book "The Fault In Our Stars", John Green says, "Look, everyone talks about the unknown like it's some big scary thing, but it's the familiar that's always bothered me. It's heavy, builds up around you like rocks, until it's walls and a ceiling and a cell." This quote is pretty straight forward and should be easy to understand. What Green is trying to say is that the unknown should not scare us because we can't really do anything about it. The familiar things in life are the things we know how to do and those are the things we can do something about.
