- “i want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. the one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. i want to be that kind of friend. the one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. i want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body. i want to know where to touch you, i want to know how to touch you. i want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. yes, i do want to be your friend. i want to be your best friend in the entire world."
- “i’m in love with you, and i’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. i’m in love with you, and i know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and i know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and i am in love with you.
- "when i first met you you were nothing more than another face, but 6 months later and you're the only face i could ever find in a crowded place."
- "and i'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred words, in any version of reality, i'd find you and i'd choose you."
- "how dangerous", she thought, "to finally have something worth losing."
- "the best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. that’s what i hope to give you forever."
- "i saw that you were perfect, and so i loved you. then i saw that you were not perfect and i loved you even more."
- "you don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not."
- "i realized i was thinking of you, and i began to wonder how long you'd been on my mind. then it occurred to me: since i met you, you've never left."
