“It was you I thought of all the time, I gave to them the love you did not need: lavished on them a love that was not theirs.”

“The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time … love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.”

“That was the problem with loving people: it made you weak. It made you need them. It made the thought of not having them the worst thing in the world.”

“Love is Love no matter old you are, and I knew if I gave you enough time, you'd come back to me.”

“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.”

“You had to know someone very well to make them laugh like that. She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did not know him at all?”

“In all these years, you never believed I loved you. And I did. I did so much. I did love you. I even loved your hate and your hardness.”

“I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you." - Tessa Gray”

“I loved you from the moment I read them. I love you still.”

“Because I miss them. Because I need them. Because I love them.”
