“Maybe "Okay" will be our "always"...”

“If he’s not calling you, he’s not on his mind. If he creates expectations and doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do the same for bigger things. Be aware that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t stay with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he chooses not to make a simple effort that would ease a recurring fight, he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is often an excuse. You deserve a f**king phone call.”

“No relationship is perfect. There are always ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences, and that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try to readjust the way you thought of things.”

“And in the end.”

“Do you think I am an automaton, a machine without feelings? Can I bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! I have as much soul as you and full as much heart. If God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through custom, conventionalities, nor even through mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit, just as if both had passed through the grave and we stood at God's feet equal as we are.”

“"To douchebags!" he said, gesturing to Brad. "And to girls who break your heart," he bowed his head to me. His eyes lost focus. "And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her."”

“You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.”

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.”

“I heard what you said. I'm not the silly romantic you think. I don't want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don't want gemstones or gold; I have those things already. I want a steady hand, a kind soul. I want to fall asleep and wake knowing my heart is safe. I want to love and be loved.”

“You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.”

“Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.”

“There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1, .12, .112, and an infinite collection of others. Of course there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

“And I'm supposed to sit by while you date boys and fall in love with someone else, get married? And meanwhile, I'll die a little bit more every day, watching.”

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

“Where there is love, there is life.”

“You love me. Real or not real?”

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever.”

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“And now I'm looking at you, and you're asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before (bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years), but Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”

“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.”

“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

“There is no pretending. I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.”

“I would die for you. But I won't live for you.”

“I love you as certain dark things are to be loved.”

“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears. "After all this time?" "Always," said Snape.”

“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”

“You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”

“Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?”

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

“You can love someone so much, but you can never love people as much as you can miss them.”

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.”

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.”

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before and she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect, you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together; but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break: her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze, and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, tell her when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?”

“We love the things we love for what they are.”

“The truth is everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

“Some people care too much. I think it's called love.”
