"All love is vanquished by a succeeding love."

"And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays."

"If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again… (Bones)"
