Hi I came across your picture of a quote by John Green on Google images. It is the one that states "the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves." I am a huge John Green fan but I do not like when someone's work is given as somebody else's. In this case this quote was not originally by John Green but is actually by William Shakespeare and is written in the play Julius Caesar. This is not meant as hate or anything but I had to let you know because Shakespeare wrote this so therefore he should have the recognition. When I first came across this I recognised it and familiarised it with the fault in our stars. In a way I was disappointed John Green picked something so similar that to me, at the time I could only see as stealing. However, now I do not mind as it is a beautiful quote and the title is brilliant, I just wish he given credit to Shakespeare and his work. Perhaps he didn't know Shakespeare wrote something so similar, but I find that very unlikely as the resemblance is hard to miss. x
