“I forced myself to take another bite of bread, chewing casually. But inside I felt stricken, filled with unexpected yearning. And I realized the problem: no one I knew would have come up with that day for me., I thought,.”

“Perhaps only those who had loved and lost could appreciate this magic.”

“And it occurred to me that friendship was a lot more dependable, not to mention long-lasting, than love.”

“Rest against my heart. Let me watch over your dreams. And know that tomorrow morning, and every morning after that, you'll awaken next to someone who loves you.”

“I’ve never heard of a man being so eager to confess to the parent of a girl he’s just ruined”

“If I listened to your advice, I'd be making your mistakes instead of my own.”

“I've never known anyone more ill equipped for happiness. He wouldn't know what to do with it.”

“Getting to a higher spiritual level is like increasing your credit score. You get a lot more points for sinning and repenting than if you have no credit history at all.”

“The bargain…” she mumbled.

“You said I could kiss you,” came his gentle, wicked whisper near her ear. “But, my love…you didn’t specify where.”

“But when you started dating someone, you could never be sure what you were getting into. You had to give someone a chance to show you who he really was… and believe him when he did.”

“I love you dammit,"she brushed her lips teasingly against his.

"How much?" He made a slight sound, as if the soft kiss had affected him intensely.

"Without limit. Beyond forever.”

“He was unbelievably hard. Everywhere. He was in control, infinitely stronger, and he wanted me to know it.

“We are hidiously rich Annabelle-- and I've got three older brothers, all unmarried. Would you consider one of them? If you like, I'll have one shipped across the Atlantic for your inspection." -Lillian Bowman”

“Be happy, honey. No
one deserves it more. But don't forget… I'm
keeping one little piece of your heart for myself.
And if you ever want it back… you know
where to find it.”

“I don't think Harry cares about being forgiven," Poppy said glumly.
"Of course he does. Men love to be forgiven. It makes us feel better about our inability to learn from our mistakes.”

“Yes, but you need to learn your maths."
"I don't need to, really. I already know how to count to a hundred. And I'm sure I'll never need ore than a hundred of anything.”

“Then he raised her enough to whisper in her ear, and while his voice was tender, his words were savage. "You're my woman, and no man or God or ghost will ever take you from me.”

“He was my confidant, the person who was always on my side even when he wasn't taking my side.”

“Friends are the support bras of life.”

“No marriage stays in the same pattern forever. It is both the best feature of marriage and the worst, that it inevitably changes.”

“Haven't you ever wished that you could steal back just a few hours of your past?" she asked softly. "That's all I want… just a little taste of what might have been.”

“… no matter where you go or what you do, I'll love every day for the rest of my life.”

“Babies were dangerous…
they made you fall in love before you knew
what was happening.”

“Only someone who had experienced such bitter despair would be able to recognize it in another.”

“I think you'll have to marry me, Miss Fielding."

"To save your reputation?"

Derek grinned, bending to kiss the flash of pale throat revealed by the robe. "Someone has to make a respectable man of me.”

“I suppose now I'm obliged to wish you happiness in your new life. Although happiness in the absence of indoor plumbing is a debatable concept.”

“I’ve never heard that the sexual act requires any particular intelligence. From what I’ve observed, many stupid people are easily able to produce children.”

“I need you for a lot of things, Hardy. A lifetime's worth of things.”

“I've needed someone like you for a long time. Now that I have you, no one is going to take you from me.
