"I must tell you that I love you, and if I live I will ask for your hand, but you needn't say anything now if it distresses you, and I might rather die without knowing that you don't die without knowing that you don't love me if that's how you feel."
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
by Gail Carson Levine

"Time is very slow for those who wait, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who lament, very short for those who celebrate. But, for those who love, time is eternity."
-William Shakespeare

"I have you, and you have me, he said. A house is only stones and grass. We have all the stones, all the grass, the sea, and the sky. All the far fields, they are ours...We have everything we want for our journey, and we are together all times..."

"If I can see your face, he signed, I'll be happy.
The Raging Quiet
by Sherryl Jordan

"I don't want to stay here without you, he signed. i can't be without you. You are me. We are the same, in our hearts. He stopped, searching for wrods, frustrated and near tears. He went on: I feel...feelings too big, I have no words. If you go away from me, I will lie down and sleep, and not wake up again.
The Raging Quiet
by Sherryl Jordan

"What can I do, to stop your hurt?
Nothing more, she said. You do everything, and you make me all right. Thank you.
Very gently, he touched her sooty cheek. If there was a way, he said, I'd take your hurt, and carry it for you."
The Raging Quiet
by Sherryl Jordan

"For what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped in the flags! Every cloud, every tree - filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day - I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary foaces of men and women - my own features - mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!"
Wuthering Heights
by Emily Bronte
