“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”

“Leaning on thy dear faithful breast,
I would resign my breath,
And in thy loved embraces lose
The bitterness of death.”

“I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.”

“Sometimes I think there’s no such thing as falling in love. It’s just the fear of losing someone.”

“I would rather you love me, but if not love, fear will do.”

“I desired you before, but I never loved you until this life.”

“I love you' I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face… My fear was a greater one--that she won't say it back.”

“There is no pretending", Jace said with absolute clarity."I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there's a life after that, I'll love you then."
She caught her breath. He had said it-the words there was no going back from.”

“I could never take a chance of losing love to find romance.”

“If they gave me a fortune,
My treasure would be small:
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all.
But if I should lose your love, dear,
I don't know what I'd do,
For I know I'll never find another you.”
