"How can something so wrong feel so right?"

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

"When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned; they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny; they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar."

"When someone blushes, doesn't that mean 'yes'?"

"It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love."

"Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure she deserved to be happy, nor did she believe that she was worthy of someone who seemed...normal."

"A girl can still admire, can’t she? Even those who can’t afford to go in the store can still window-shop. Right? Knowing he wasn’t for me didn’t mean I couldn’t covet the merchandise."

"What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing but the give-and-take that made you both match?"

"I love you," I said, and stabbed him."

"It hurts to breathe. It hurts to live. I hate her, yet I do not think I can exist without her."

"Nobody ever gets what they want when it comes to love."

"I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am."

"You honestly expect me to breathe in a world without air?"

"What's a fuck when what I want is love?"

"We are not people who touch each other carelessly; every point of contact between us feels important, a rush of energy and relief."

"love is thicker than forgetmore thinner than recallmore seldom than a wave is wetmore frequent than to failit is most mad and moonlyand less it shall unbethan all the sea which onlyis deeper than the sealove is less always than to winless never than aliveless bigger than the least beginless littler than forgiveit is most sane and sunlyand more it cannot diethan all the sky which onlyis higher than the sky"

"What are you doing?”“Kneeling before a goddess.”“I’m not a goddess.”“You are. A goddess, a princess, a queen. As a soldier, I pledge myself to your service. As a prince, I grant you any boon within my power. As a man, I ask to sit at your feet and worship you. Ask me to do anything for you and I will do it."

"I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity."

"Heart, we will forget him,You and I, tonight!You must forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light."

"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

"I'm backing down now. I really do love you. That's why I'm doing this."

"Herondales." Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don't carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It's too heavy for even a Herondale to bear."
