"This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot.

And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be."

"Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you."

"I love doing the action stuff. It's soooo much fun!"

"Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair."

"Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal."
