Because what is more like love than the ocean? You can play in it, drown in it. It can be clear and bright enough to hurt your eyes, or covered in fog; hidden behind a curve of road, and then suddenly there in full glory. Its waves come like breaths, in and out, in and out, body stretched to forever in its possibilities, and yet its heart likes deep, not fully knowable, inconceivable, majestic."

- Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti

Love stories are written in millimeters and milliseconds with a fast, dull pencil whose marks you can barely see... They are written in miles and eons with a chisel on the side of a mountaintop.

-Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac by Gabrielle Zevin

You pierce my soul.
I am half agony, half hope... You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice, when they would be lost on others.

-Persuasionby Jane Austen
