"The key to a successful relationship isn’t just in the words, it’s in the choice of punctuation. When you’re in love with someone, a well-placed question mark can be the difference between bliss and disaster, and a deeply respected period or a cleverly inserted ellipsis can prevent all kinds of exclamations."

"Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."

"I have come from the End of the World. From the River of Dreams, through the gauntlet and the Briar and the Deep Wyld, in order to stand before you today. I have but one request—to take my place at your side. To resume my duty as your knight, and to protect you and your kingdom for as long as I draw breath."

"When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it."

"A man in love can do extraordinary things, I don’t care if you’re an angel, you’re my angel, and I won’t let you go."

"I don't want to know about love.''But you should, my child. You need to know about love. The things people will do for love. All truths come down to love, do they not? One way or another, they do. See, there is a difference between love and need. Sometimes, what you feel is immediate and without rhyme or reason.' She sat up a little straighter. 'Two people see each across a room or their skin brushes. Their souls recognize the person as their own. It doesn’t need time to figure it. The soul always knows... whether it’s right or wrong."

"Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness."

"The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care"

"Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you."

"Brod's life was a slow realization that the world was not for her, and that for whatever reason, she would never be happy and honest at the same time. She felt as if she were brimming, always producing and hoarding more love inside her. But there was no release...So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love--loving the loving of things whose existence she didn't care at all about. Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. It was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist."

"I never want to be away from you again, except at work, in the restroom or when one of us is at a movie the other does not want to see."

"I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on."

"We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present."

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy to a friend."

"If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have."

"And he knew, also, what the old man was thinking as his tears flowed, and he, Rieux, thought it too: that a loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, of one's work, and of devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart."

"There are only two reasons why you leave someone you're still in love with - either it's the right thing to do, or it's the only thing to do."

"I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning."

"Lover? I don't know. I don't know if she loves me. I don't know if I love her. All I can say is, she's the one I think about. All the time. She's the voice I want to hear. She's the face I hope to see."

"I...will never...regret you."
