But, alas! husbands, as well as their helpmates, are often only overgrown children; nay, thanks to early debauchery, scarcely men in their outward form—and if the blind lead the blind, one need not come from heaven to tell us the consequence.

Love is far better to know, even if it slips from your grasp or doesn’t bear fruit like you’d hoped. People who say they regret love, true love, are just bitter liars.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close.
When you find her up at 2AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her.
You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you.
She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.
Date a girl who reads because you deserve it.
You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable.
- Robert Pattinson

Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.
- Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“What was it like?” Manon asked quietly. “To love.”
“It was like dying a little everyday. It was like being alive, too. It was joy so complete it was pain. It destroyed me and unmade me and fired me. I hated it, because I knew I could escape it, and knew it would forever change me. Love is the most powerful thing I’ve ever felt, greater than rage, than lust, than magic.”
- Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows
