“You gave me the courage to love. To dared to dream for things I never imagined were possible for me.”

“I think that love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time, and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last.... I would enter your sleep if I could, and guard you there, and slay the thing that hounds you, as I would if it had the courage to face me in fair daylight. But I cannot come in unless you dream of me.”

“If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me”

“ I love you crookedly because my heart's been unhinged from birth. The doctors gave me strict instructions not to fall in love: my fragile clockwork heart would never survive. But when you gave me a dose of love so powerful - far beyond my wildest dreams - that I felt able to confront anything for you, I decided to put my life in your hands.”

“...you were there when they trampled me - you picked me up, healed me and gave me back my feelings - is it any wonder I love you?...”

“You left me. You made a pet out of me, and then you left me. If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me.”
