The Fault in Our Stars Quote

Frannie: [Hazel Grace is wearing a shirt printed with RenÚ 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.
