romance

"My heart only grows more powerful the more my flowing love goes unabsorbed, unobserved, and unappreciated."

"Memories were fine but you couldn't touch them, smell them or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment was, and they faded with time."

"My heart cracked. Daemon never begged."

"It wasn't a thing I had consciously missed, but having it now reminded me of the joy of it; that drowsy intimacy in which a man's body is accessible to you as your own, the strange shapes and textures of it like a sudden extension of your own limbs."

"You're a dream. Like everything else."

"He's still looking in my eyes. Staring me down like he did that dragon, chin tilted and locked. "I'm not the Chosen One,"he says.I meet his gaze and sneer. My arm is a steel band around his waist. "I choose you,"I say. "Simon Snow, I choose you."

"Do you remember the first time we made love?"He touched his lips to hers as he said it. "We rode up in the elevator like this and couldn't keep our hands off each other, couldn't get to each other quick enough. I was mad for you. I wanted you more than I wanted to keep breathing. I still do."He deepened the kiss as the elevator doors opened. "It's never going to change."

"What you are is a fucking tragedy, Simon Snow. You literally couldn't be a bigger mess."He tries to kiss me, but I pull back- "And you like that?""I love it."He says"Why?""Because we match."

"The entire time I'm burning in Hell, I'll regret each tear I made you weep. But if Hell were the price for twenty days with you, I'd condemn myself again and again. - Cian MacKeltar"

"my good qualities are under your protection, and you are to exaggerate them as much as possible; and, in return, it belongs to me to find occasion for teasing and quarreling with you as often as may be..."

"I had a romance novel inside me, but I paid three sailors to beat it out of me with steel pipes."

"James - "Are you paying attention or just trying to make me look like an idoit?"Elizabeth - "Oh, I'm definately paying attention. If you look like an idiot it has nothing to do with me."

"There's no reason to think we're going to stop loving each other,' he said. 'And there's every reason to think that we won't."

"Maybe sometimes we can only see the truth about ourselves if someone shows us where to look."

"It was the nicest thing she could imagine. It made her want to have his babies and give him both of her kidneys."

"To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement."

"If I'd had enough breath, I would have screamed, both at the sensation and at the sheer pettiness of the bastard who wouldn't allow me even a tiny chance of escape."

"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again."

"When we first met, I didn't want to get involved with anyone. I didn't have the time or energy, and I wasn't sure that I was ready for it. But you were so good to me, and I got swept up in that. And little by little, I found myself falling in love with you."

"Rohan, one of us is an unmarried man with superior mathematical abilities and no prospects for the evening. The other is a confirmed lecher in an amorous mood, with a willing and nubile young wife waiting at home. Who do you think should do the damned account books?"And, with a nonchalant wave, St. Vincent had left the office."
