Frannie
- Frannie: [Hazel Grace is wearing a shirt printed with René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images", a painting of a pipe with the words "this is not a pipe" in French] I really don't get that shirt.
- Hazel Grace Lancaster: Van Houten will get it. Trust me. There are like fifty Magritte references in "Imperial Affliction."
- Frannie: "This is not a pipe."
- Hazel Grace Lancaster: Exactly.
- Frannie: But it is a pipe.
- Hazel Grace Lancaster: No, it's not. It's a drawing of a pipe. See?
- [she doesn't]
- Hazel Grace Lancaster: All representations of a thing are inherently abstract. A drawing of a thing is not the thing itself. Not is a t-shirt of a drawing of a thing the thing itself.
