“I didn’t know anymore what love meant, or why we were not all better off without it.”

“People fell in love, and lost, and moved on. He didn’t know why he couldn’t. He didn’t know why he didn’t even want to. All he knew was that whatever he had to owe to Hell or Heaven for this chance, he was going to make it count.”

“It didn’t matter that they were terrible at being parents; they were also very rich, which meant they could pay other people to love Alec.”

“We were willing to do so much for the people we loved, even if it meant hurting ourselves. Maybe that, in the end, was what love- all kinds- was really about.”

“To be without love is to be without grace, what matters most in life.
We is so much better than I.”

“I had no illusions about love anymore. It came, it went, it left casualties or it didn't. People weren't meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say.”

“I don’t know. She was a sweet girl. As sweet as they come. I don’t know why I didn’t love her. It’s something you can’t really control.”

“Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”

“All of my love — all of my kissin’
You don’t know what you’ve been a-missin’
Oh boy — when you’re with me — oh boy
The world will see that you were meant for me”

“He knew what 'I love you' meant, and he knew it was good, but he didn't understand why it was an explanation for anything.”
