The Great Perhaps

It was said by Francois Rabelais, and made more commonly known when mentioned by Miles Halter in John Green's "Looking for Alaska". It's a mystery about possibly the question of an existence of an afterlife, and The Great Perhaps sets the plot in motion.

"I go to seek a Great Perhaps." -F.R.
"That's why I'm going. So I don't have to wait until I die to start seeking a Great Perhaps." -M.H.
Before you die... "It's The Great Perhaps!" -You

Perhaps

Something you say when the probability is unsure, maybe for the speaker or the listener or even for both.

A mystery to the listener, the truth known only by the speaker.

Perhaps you will know the truth eventually.

Perhaps I will take a walk today if it doesn't rain.

Perhaps I will love him one day.

Person 1: Do you have feelings for me?

Person 2: Perhaps
