"Fidelity is a living, breathing entity. On wobbly footing, it can wander, becoming something different entirely."

"I love the name of honor more than I fear death."

"You were the sun, and I was crashing into you."

"Imaginary Friends When my childhood imaginary friend got mad at mehe insulted me by calling me 'real'."

"❞ [10w] "Let's cuddle like a quotation mark filling a blank page."

"I have a deep love for life and my fellow human beings. I try to understand everything that everybody does, even if it seems wrong to me."

"Gaps don't/just happen./There is a/generative element/inside them,/a welling motion/as when cold/waters shoulder/up through/warmer oceans./And where gaps/choose to widen,/coordinates warp,/even in places/constant since/the oldest maps."

"One heart cannot serve two masters."

"Madlen came to sit beside her on the bed. "Lady Queen,"she said with her own particular brand of rough gentleness. "It is not the job of the child to protect her mother. It's the mother's job to protect the child. By allowing your mother to protect you, you gave her a gift. Do you understand me?"

"Love Jo all your days, if you choose, but don't let it spoil you, for it's wicked to throw away so many good gifts because you can't have the one you want."

"The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open."

"Love is illogical. You fall into it like a manhole. Then you're just stuck. You die in love more than you live in love."

"I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way."

"Call it "a wonder"or "a mystery"and you have an excuse to never try understanding it - an excuse to not take responsibility for it. People knew about love no more than they knew about Science, but at least most did not jump into Science headstrong, with the hope that they would figure it out as they went, or that some "mysterious"inborn trait would take care of it."

"Water is translucent, but not invisible. But a glass half full is half translucent, half invisible, and you cannot drink what you cannot see, which may be why I am so thirsty for her love."

"There are only four times a year I love you: summer, fall, winter, and spring. I'll love you until the sun stops shining, until the clouds dissipate, when Mount Everest no longer has snow, and the flowers stop blooming.-Jarod Kintz and Karen Quan"

"Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair."

"To stop war, teach peace, love, cooperation, and most of all—forgiveness."

"I'm hanging on to her memory like Spanish moss on an ancient Florida oak, and unlike the sunset, my love won't fade."

"I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self… that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me."
