“Now you will feel no rain,For each of you will be shelter to the other.Now you will feel no cold,For each of you will be warmth to the other.Now there is no more loneliness for you.For each of you will be companion to the other.Now you are two bodies,But there is only one life before you.”

“Love is like that. It's like a wildfire in my blood.”

“The world went from black and white and into color when I laid eyes on you, my love. There'll be no going back.”

“Is that where you draw the line? I'll never understand why some things are more taboo than others.""And that's what makes you so kinky, the fact that you don't see the difference.”

“You read me so well without me ever having to say the words. It astounds me. Perhaps we were made for each other. You're making me a believer, my love.”

“Life is funny like that, making us pay for the same stupid mistakes even after we've learned from them thoroughly.”

“I'd said it because I couldn't look directly at the sun and not remark that it was blinding and brilliant.”

“I've been trying to make my head rule my actions, when my heart has so obviously taken over.”

“You’re my favorite subject, Love. I’ll start with your eyes. I fell in love with those first. One look was like a punch to the guy. You have these ageless eyes on such a young face. I just knew that you had seen bad things, and from the start, I knew that you could understand pain. Understand feeling hopeless and helpless and alone. I fell in love with your eyes first because I looked into their depths and saw the other half of my soul.”

“You put your soul into those paintings, and nothing in this world is more beautiful to me than that soul of yours.”

“Is it romantic or psychotic when I say I'll never let you leave me?”

“As you wish, Buttercup.”

“I loved your eyes first,” I told him , repeating his words from a few weeks ago back to him, because it was true, and because we were two halves of a whole—we had been all along, and he’d been so clever to know it right away. I used to think it was insanity, but now I was beginning to think that it was pure brilliance. “I see it, too, James. I see the other half of my soul in you.”

“The only way you could be good in bed for me would (be) if you became a complete person, not just some shell of a man that doesn't have a middle ground between putting women on a pedestal and degrading them with meaningless sex.”

“God, did I miss you, Love. Is thirty too young to retire from working? I'd love to just make love to you full-time, instead”

“I had fallen in love with a perfect lie.”

“My past has shaped me, that's true of anyone.”

“This must be what a fly felt like when it was caught fast in a spider's web.”

“How could such a beautiful man be insecure?”

“You have such dreams in your eyes.”

“It was hard to remember that we weren't supposed to feel anything for each other when he looked at me like I was more important than the next breath.”

“Taking care of you," he said mildly. "I'm getting you ready for bed right now. And if you start throwing up all of that poison you drank tonight, I'll take you to the bathroom and hold your hair out of your face for you.”

“You're more precious than my own life to me, Bianca.”

“I don't feel alone with you. I feel like I have a family and a home again. You're my home. All of the dark shadows seem to disappear when we're together.”

“Knowing and feeling were two very different things.”

“He had an angel's face, but his eyes were so hypnotically tarnished, a mirror of my own pain in their depths.”

“With him being so charming, and so perfect, so heart-achingly beautiful, but tarnished in all of the right places, and in all of the ways that I understood so well, how could I not love him?”

“I never thought I'd have the urge to fuck someone to death.”

“The things he made me feel had opened a floodgate, and the damned thing wouldn't close.”

“There's no room in perfection for insecurity.”

“You are special. You're the most special person in the world to me.”

“On a scale of one to ten, what was he?""How would, 'I want him to fuck me to death, and he just might', rate on that scale?”

“Even his voice was unfair.”

“You can call me Grandpa, if that does it for you.”

“Bitch be cray cray. --Murphy”

“His soul was a mirror of my own.”

“I wondered how my heart could be both light with happiness and heavy with love at the same time.”

“Careful, Love. You can't offer a starving man a feast and expect him not to take you up on it.”

“I want to deserve you, my love.”

“I can’t change my past, Bianca. All I can do is be honest with you, and I’ve done my best.”

“Meet my future. Her name is Bianca. Come to terms with it. My advice would be to get on her good side.”

“You ready to leave now? I don’t find the idea of fucking you against that wall behind you even slightly unpleasant. Exhibitionism has never been a problem for me. Is that something you’d like to try?”

“You’re the most gorgeous creature on the planet. How do you not know that you’ve completely ruined me for other men?”

“Is it possible I’m not as sexy as I think I am?”

“If you are having trouble understanding, let me spell it out for you … This is serious, Bianca. I’ve never been more fucking serious in my life.”

“That will get you fucked in a hurry, Love.”

“Somebody is smitten with my Buttercup.”

“It isn’t fair for a man that perfect to be loose among the public.”

“I knew I had a problem. I was starting to like that kinky rich bastard.”
