“Part of her - unreasonable Anna- still loved him. Maybe she would never stop loving him.”

“I still loved him. I never stopped loving him, and never stopped hoping that he would fall back in love with me as well.”

“Looking at him now-even if she hadn't been in love with him, that part of her that was her mother's daugher, that loved every beautiful thing for its beauty alone, would still have wanted him.”

“But maybe, underneath, she loves him too much. Maybe it's her excessive love that pushes him away.”

“She loves Vincent body and soul. He is her true love. She will never feel for me what she does for him. But I will never stop loving her. And I have to learn to live with that.”

“A part of her wanted to tell him she still loved him, and that even though this love was hopeless and long over, it still consumed her year after year. It was a tangled hairball of feelings and she couldn't pull forth any one strand.”
