“You are not pretty. Pretty is a china figurine on a shelf. Pretty fades and cracks and withers away. You are beautiful, Charley Alcott. Your beauty flows out from you like honey from a comb, every time you comfort a wounded man, every time you heal a pain. You are beautiful here," he kissed her forehead, "and here," he said, kissing her graceful neck, "and especially inside here," he finished, putting his hand on her breastbone. "You will always be beautiful, Charley, when pretty is only a memory, you will be beautiful because of who you are.”

“Every day I was gone from you, I felt like my heart was at the bottom of the ocean with my ship. If you tell me you do not want to go to sea, then...I will find something else to do. But whatever I make of my life, I cannot do it without you, my dearest heart. I love you so much. You are the greatest treasure I ever stole.”

I'll look for the Booklist article on Westerns, 'cause I don't think they get nearly enough attention.
