"One can't fight with oneself, for this battle has only one loser."

"Everything changes except the love."

"It was the sort of bone deep emotion that made him want to hold her tighter with one hand, and draw a sword against the world with the other."

"You want the fairy tale.""I want a chance at it."

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."

"It's about time! It's supposed to be a ritual, not a marathon."

"I make love with a focus and intensity that most people reserve for sleep."

"I spent most of my youth hauling sides of beef and pork to my father's shop. Carrying you is far more enjoyable.""How sweet,"Annabelle mumbled sickly, her eyes closed. "Every woman dreams of being told that she's preferable to a dead cow."

"I think this’ll definitely tide me over while we’re apart,”Bones laughed, dragging me into his arms with far more strength and quickness than was fair, considering I still had trouble making my limbs operate.“Oh, Kitten,” he murmured as his lips dragged down my throat. “You didn’t really think we were done, did you?"

"I didn’t mean to fall in love with you, but I did.- Chelsea"

"You make the rest of the beautiful things in the world cry for even trying at all. You make it hard for me to breathe."

"It's so much easier to convince yourself you're madly in love with someone when you know nothing about him."

"She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain."

"He was contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee. I could have looked at him forever."

"There is darkness in light, there is pain in joy, and there are thorns on the rose."

"You're the one who made it seem like we were doing something wrong. Maybe you still feel like that, because for whatever reason, you think I'm not good enough for you. But I like you, okay? I've liked you from the very beginning.""It was never going anywhere""Because you wouldn't let it go anywhere."

"Get up, Shahrzad al-Khayzuran. You kneel before no one. Least of all me."

"Okay, that one's pretty good,"Fred acknowledged, after she'd told him a particularly filthy joke. "But have you heard the one about the baker's wife?""No,"Kyra said."Rumor has it, she married him for his buns."Fred burst out laughing.Kyra groaned. "Okay, that was just bad."

"To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment, and it only hurt so much because to you, that person's opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world, of God."

"And it is you, spirit--with will and energy, and virtue and purity--that I want, not alone with your brittle frame."
