Shakespeare

• "Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear. Where little fears grow great, great love grows there."
  • Hamlet
• "O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;"
  • Romeo & Juliet
• "Your lips are like wine, and I want to get drunk."
• "Expectation is the root of all heartache."
• "What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet."
• "Hear my soul speak: The very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly to your service."
• "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
• "I'll follow you and make a heaven out of hell, and I'll die by your hand which I love so well."
• “Have more than you show, Speak less than you know”

F. Scott Fitzgerald

• "I guess very few people ever really think, I mean sit down and ponder and have ideas in sequence. On paper, your first paragraph contains the idea you’re going to damn or enlarge upon. In conversation, you’ve got your vis-a-vis’s last statement—-but when you simply ponder, why, your ideas just succeed each other like magic-lantern pictures and each own forces out the last."
  • The Beautiful and Damned
• "I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything."
• “I won’t kiss you. It might get to be a habit and I can’t get rid of habits.”
• “I wish I’d done everything on Earth with you.”
• “Two souls are sometimes created together and in love before they’re born.”
• “There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
• "I’m not sentimental—I’m as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last—the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t."
• "I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything."
• "Angry, and half in love with you, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."
• "I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
• "Actually that's my secret - I can't even talk about you to anybody because I don't want any more people to know how wonderful you are."
• "He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself."
• "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
• "Why don’t you tell me that “if the girl had been worth having, she’d have waited for you”? No, sir, the girl really worth having won’t wait for anybody."
• For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
• “It’s better to be cold and young than to love.”
• “I’m not sure what I’ll do, but— well, I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale.”

Ernest Hemingway

• “The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
• "Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."
• "The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too."
• “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.”
• “We would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.”

"Veni, Vidi, Vici" - I came, I saw, I conquered.
