Death ends a life, not a relationship.
One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

And Father said, "Christopher, do you understand that I love you?" And I said "Yes," because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means that he loves me.

I would always know what time it was in California.
Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it and it darts away.
She might be a great person, but life's so much bigger than just loving someone.
I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too damn short.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
That idea is strange to me. People keep on loving? People keep on loving even if you are not there in their face everyday to remind them? People keep on loving even if they no longer see you at all? People keep on loving even if they are loving someone else? Impossible: to believe you can be loved in absence when you don't even know how it feels to be loved when you are there.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.
Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?
So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.
