"I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one."
-Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre
)
"I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have a feeling that they can’t hide."
-Rachel Cohn (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
)
"I will find you," he whispered in my ear. "I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years of without you-then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest... Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well."
-Diana Gabaldon (Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)
)
"For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home."
-Stephanie Perkins (Anna and the French Kiss
)
