“We could—” he started, then stopped, swallowed, and started again. “We could become parabatai.”
He said it shyly, half-turning his face away from her, so that the shadows partially hid his expression.
“Then they couldn’t separate us,” he added. “Not ever.”
Emma felt her heart turn over. “Jules, being parabatai is a big deal,” she said. “It’s—it’s forever.”
He looked at her, his face open and guileless. There was no trickery in Jules, no darkness. “Aren’t we forever?” he asked.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“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.

“There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body, and every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did the day before. It’s science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes that air or sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much.”

“Out of my thoughts! You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since – on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with. The stones of which the strongest London buildings are made, are not more real, or more impossible to displace with your hands, than your presence and influence have been to me, there and everywhere, and will be. Estella, to the last hour of my life, you cannot choose but remain part of my character, part of the little good in me, part of the evil. But, in this separation I associate you only with the good, and I will faithfully hold you to that always, for you must have done me far more good than harm, let me feel now what sharp distress I may. O God bless you, God forgive you!”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“I know there may be universes out there where I made different choices and they led me somewhere else, led me to someone else. And my heart breaks for every single version of me that didn't end up with you.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Maybe in Another Life

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“There’s a billion different versions of you out there, in a trillion different universes. And I still can’t get over how lucky I am that, out of all those versions you’re the one that’s mine.”
― Amie Kaufman, Obsidio

“I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You'll never see, but you will know. I'll be all the poets, I'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you.”
― Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War

“O gidince hayatlarınızın yabani bitkiler gibi yıllarca birbirine doğru büyüyüp iç içe geçtiği yeri, bu müşterek alandaki şahsi hikayeni, yani onun yanında seni de kaybediyordun. Karşılıklı oturduğunuz masaları kaybediyordun mesela. Sadece ona anlatacağın şeyleri kaybediyordun. Onu bir sabah kahvaltıya çağırma ihtimalini.Ondan ödünç alacağın ve vermeyi unutup unutup sonunda el mecbur senin edilen giysileri.Günlerdir içini kemiren bir meseleyi gecenin bir vakti kapısını çalıp anlatma şansını ve onun verdiği akılla belli bir yönde alacağın kararları.Yüz yıldır tanıdığın birine iç rahatlığıyla şımarma, kızma, surat asma, bozuk çalma, onunla kavga etme hakkını.Birinin sen leb demeden leblebi diyecek olmasını kaybediyordun. O, seninkilere dolanmış köklerini söküp alırken, seni de yerinden ediyordu.Aynı bahçenin çiçekleri olmak böyle bir şeydi.”
― Melisa Kesmez, Nohut Oda
