“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike. Only when moving can one comfortably maintain one's balance.”

“Live with purpose. Don't let people or things around you get you down.”

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

“Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives.”

“Only two things we'll regret on our deathbed: that we were little loved and little traveled.”

“أجمل حب هو الذي نعثر عليه أثناء بحثنا عن شيء آخر”

“I love you. Remember. They cannot take it.”

“"You smell good, too," said Patch.”

“Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.”

“How do you feel, Georgie?”

“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.”

“Laters, baby.”

“Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

“If you want to forget something or someone, never hate them. Everything and everyone you hate is engraved on your heart; if you want to let go or forget, you cannot hate.”

“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me' — that's intimacy.”

“You'll stay with me?”

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”

“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.”

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

“"What's this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there. "It's a girl," Jace said, recovering his composure. "Surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one."”

“What is love? I met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat was worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.”

“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.”

“It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.”

“I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.”

“When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.”

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

“If a relationship can't survive the long term, why would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?”

“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.”

“I'd said it before and meant it: Alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.”

“I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.”

“Do you think I'm pretty?”

“You know, there was a time I thought we could be friends, Will.”

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”

“Why is it I feel I've known you so many years?”

“I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.”

“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”

“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. One day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”

“If you like her, if she makes you happy and you feel like you know her, don't let her go.”

“The minute I heard my first love story,”

“Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.”

“One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually he offered to wake you himself, but since it's 5 a.m., I figured you'd be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.”

“The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.”

“True love is rare, and it's the only thing that gives life real meaning.”

“I'm here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up crying all night long; I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it, and I will love you through that as well. If you don't need the medication, I will love you, too. There's nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than depression and I am braver than loneliness, and nothing will ever exhaust me.”

“Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.”

“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”

“He must have known I'd want to leave you.”
