    Let's agree to forget Gramps and Agberg out of deference to Mr. Green: "There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get... I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful." -John Green, The Fault in Our Stars.... Does he shed light on your question?

    An interesting title. It contradicts Shakespeares line... "The fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves."

    I'm always thinking of titles for books, but never follow through by actually writing a book. My most recent idea for a title comes from reading these threads. And so my new unpublished book (only the title, I'll let the readers write the book) is entitled The Public Lives of Private People 😉😛
