"I love you," I said, and stabbed him."

"It hurts to breathe. It hurts to live. I hate her, yet I do not think I can exist without her."

"Nobody ever gets what they want when it comes to love."

"I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am."

"You honestly expect me to breathe in a world without air?"

"What's a fuck when what I want is love?"

"We are not people who touch each other carelessly; every point of contact between us feels important, a rush of energy and relief."

"love is thicker than forgetmore thinner than recallmore seldom than a wave is wetmore frequent than to failit is most mad and moonlyand less it shall unbethan all the sea which onlyis deeper than the sealove is less always than to winless never than aliveless bigger than the least beginless littler than forgiveit is most sane and sunlyand more it cannot diethan all the sky which onlyis higher than the sky"

"What are you doing?”“Kneeling before a goddess.”“I’m not a goddess.”“You are. A goddess, a princess, a queen. As a soldier, I pledge myself to your service. As a prince, I grant you any boon within my power. As a man, I ask to sit at your feet and worship you. Ask me to do anything for you and I will do it."

"I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity."

"Heart, we will forget him,You and I, tonight!You must forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light."

"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

"I'm backing down now. I really do love you. That's why I'm doing this."

"Herondales." Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don't carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It's too heavy for even a Herondale to bear."

"Do you really think anyone in this world, compares to you in my eyes?"

"I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?"

"I thought perhaps that when you told me you did not love me that my own feelings would fall away and atrophy, but they have not. They have grown every day. I love you now more desperately, this moment, than I have ever loved you before, and in an hour I will love you more than that"

"When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults."

"I’m stuck babysitting turtle eggs while a volleyball player slash grease monkey slash aquarium volunteer tries to hit on me.” I’m not hitting on you,” he protested.No?”Believe me, you’d know if I was hitting on you. You wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from succumbing to my charms."

"We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other."

"Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them."

"I'm tired of living unable to love anyone. I don't have a single friend - not one. And, worst of all, I can't even love myself. Why is that? Why can't I love myself? It's because I can't love anyone else. A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else. Do you understand what I am saying? A person who is incapable of loving another cannot properly love himself."
