“She was a living reverie for me: the mere sight of her sparked an almost infinite range of fantasy, from Greek to Gothic, from vulgar to divine."

"I believe that having a great diversity of
teachers is harmful and confusing for a young mind, in the same way I believe that it is better to know one book intimately than a hundred su-perficially,"

“You said I am a good man," he said. "But I am not that good a man. And I am-I am catastrophically in love with you.”

"No," she said again. "No, don't say it. If you don't say it, it won't be true. It can't be true. It isn't fair."
"I'm sorry," he whispered.

vision is blurry from the tears rn

"If there is a life after this one," he said,

“Our hearts, they need a mirror, Tessa. We see our better selves in the eyes of those who love us. And there is a beauty that brevity alone provides."

"My conscience," Will whispered. "You are my conscience. You have ever been, James Carstairs.” 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

"I have wanted to do this," he said, "every moment of every hour of every day that I have been with you since the day I met you. But you know that. You must know. Don't you?"

“She hated that Will had this effect on her. Hated it. She knew better. She knew what he thought of her. That she was nothing, worth nothing. And still a look from him could make her tremble with mingled hatred and longing. It was like a poison in her blood, to which Jem was the only antidote. Only with him did she feel on steady ground.”

"Sometimes, our lives can change so fast that the change outpaces our minds and hearts. It's those times, I think, when our lives have altered but we still long for the time before everything was altered- that is when we feel the greatest pain. I can tell you, though, from experience, you grow accustomed to it. You learn to live your new life, and you can't imagine, or even really remember, how things were before."

“yes, he loved her enough to know she was better off without him”

“ When you're a child you long to be an adult and decide everything for yourself, but when you're an adult you realize that's the worst part of it. That you have to have opinions all the time…………You have to make choices and be chosen by others, every second, the whole time.”
