They blinked in the dusk of the setting sun, a reminder that light was a recurring state.

And then this - the moment he calls my name - is the real moment everything changes....

But that's not quite right either.I miss Paris, but it's not home. It's more like... I miss this. This warmth over the telephone. Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place? Bridgette used...

I look down, and I'm surprised to find myself standing in the middle of a small stone circle. In the center, directly between my feet, is a coppery-bronze octagon with a star. Words are engraved in...

And then I turn another corner, and my chest constricts so tightly, so painfully, that I can no longer breathe....

The feeling is that we have everything to say. And where do you begin with everything?

I said you were beautiful. I slept in your bed!

She rests her hand on the ruffled costume beside her. Just answer this one question. My brother never got over you. Did you ever get over him?I swallow. There are some people in life that you can't...

I'm the last one in the dark, until- suddenly- it happens. St. Clair removes something from his pocket. And then he gets down on one knee.Anna's entire body lights with shock and joy and love. She...

Yes, St. Claire. I like you. But I can't say it aloud, because he's my friend. And friends don't let other friends make drunken declarations and expect them to act upon them the next day

Love isn't about thinking. You should know that by now.

Power can do everything but the most important thing: it cannot control love.

I like this marriage thing, because it's the best of all of us. We get to be the whole meal. The appetizer, the entree, the luxurious dessert... And yes, the peas and the carrots.

...what argument is left with someone you love if she is willing to break your heart?

As an unperfect actor on the stage, Who with his fear is put besides his part,Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart; So I, for fear of trust,...

Then must you speakOf one that loved not wisely but too well,Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,Like the base Indian, threw a pearl awayRicher...

This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven.

Hang there like a fruit, my soul, Till the tree die!-Posthumus LeonatusAct V, Scene V
