“And what would humans be without love?"
RARE, said Death.”

“Death is not such a bad thing. What would be a bad thing would be living without challenges. Without knowing defeat, we cannot know what victory is. There is no life without death.”

“One rarely falls in love without being as much attracted to what is interestingly wrong with someone as what is objectively healthy.”

“the little death. What would or could be left of a human being after such an experience?”

“What light is to the eyes, what love is to the heart, Liberty is to the soul of man. Without it, there come suffocation, degradation and death.”

“But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. […] True sorrow is as rare as true love.”

“Love without risk is an impossibility, like war without death.”

“Love is rarely flawless,” Carter pointed out. “Humans delude themselves by thinking it has to be. It is the imperfection that makes love perfect.”

“I forgive you," I said. I said what I had to. I would die by pieces to save myself from real death.”

“It's the sorrow you feel that allows you to crave love. Without the suffering, there would be no true pleasure. Without tears, no joy. Without deficiency, no longing. This is the secret of the human heart, Rom.”
