"Woman is sacred the woman one loves is holy."

"Maybe I was destined to forever fall in love with people I couldn’t have. Maybe there’s a whole assortment of impossible people waiting for me to find them. Waiting to make me feel the same impossibility over and over again."

"True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops."

"You are my heart, my life, my entire existence." -Ash"

"In this part of the story I am the one whodies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,because I love you, Love, in fire and in blood."

"It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world."

"Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. then your love would also change."

"You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else."

"I wish you could be kissed, Jane,' he said. 'Because I would beg just one off you. Under all this.' He flailed an arm toward the stars."

"Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star..."

"They're in love. Fuck the war."

"Yeah, well," I say, "I left Abnegation because I wasn't selfless enough, no matter how hard I tried to be.""That's not entirely true." He smiles at me. "That girl who let someone throw knives at her to spare a friend, who hit my dad with a belt to protect me-that selfless girl, that's not you?"..."You've been paying close attention, haven't you?""I like to observe people/""Maybe you were cut out for Candor, Four, because you're a terrible liar."

"Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for."

"And now I know why they invented words for love, why they had to: It's the only thing that can come close to describing what I feel in that moment, the baffling mixture of pain and pleasure and fear and joy, all running sharply through me at once."

"My parents danced together, her head on his chest. Both had their eyes closed. They seemed so perfectly content. If you can find someone like that, someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you're lucky. Even if it only lasts for a minute or a day. The image of them gently swaying to the music is how I picture love in my mind even after all these years."

"In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun."

"Weeping is not the same thing as crying. It takes your whole body to weep, and when it's over, you feel like you don't have any bones left to hold you up."

"As mothers and daughters, we are connected with one another. My mother is the bones of my spine, keeping me straight and true. She is my blood, making sure it runs rich and strong. She is the beating of my heart. I cannot now imagine a life without her."

"I don't love you anymore", she whispered. "I don't love you at all." His throat closed. "It's all right, sweetheart. I love you enough for both of us."

"Love is the strangest, most illogical thing in the world."

"There are memories that time does not erase... Forever does not make loss forgettable, only bearable."

"One of the things that makes me who I am is the loyalty I have to people I hold close to my heart."
