“I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.”

“More than life, more than honor, I love thee."

More than any crown or throne or title, I love thee. More than any power in faerie, I love thee.”

“Never, dear father, love can be,
Like the dear love I had for thee!”

“I love thee and thou art so lovely and so wonderful and so beautiful and it does such things to me to be with thee that I feel as though I wanted to die when I am loving thee.”

“The more the honor and love of Christ increases among men, so much the esteem and honor given to [[Mary should grow”

“So dear I love him, that with him all deaths I could endure, without him live no life.”

“How happy I am, if you say this from your heart! For I love thee so, that I could sooner bear to see thee hang'd than in the Arms of another.”

“I wish that I could love someone so much that I would die from it.”

“Also, for more understanding, this blessed word was said: Lo, how I loved thee! Behold and see that I loved thee so much ere I died for thee that I would die for thee; and now I have died for thee and suffered willingly that which I may. And now is all my bitter pain and all my hard travail turned to endless joy and bliss to me and to thee. How should it now be that thou shouldst anything pray that pleaseth me but that I should full gladly grant it thee? For my pleasing is thy holiness and thine endless joy and bliss with me.
This is the understanding, simply as I can say it, of this blessed word: Lo, how I loved thee. This shewed our good Lord for to make us glad and merry.”

“Adoration isn’t love. I adore Annabella, but I don’t love her; and I love thee, Milicent, but I don’t adore thee.”
