“No one said we had to spend every waking moment together, but at the end of the day and most of the time during, there is no one I would rather see, no one whose voice I would rather hear, and no one whose mind I would rather explore. I love you, Hyacinth Bridgerton. And I always will.”
“I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief.”
“I would rather have a short life with width rather than a narrow one with length.”
“You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.”
“It had been a good day, all things considered. I had managed rather well on my own. I opened Grandfather's Bible. This is what it would be like when I had my own shop, or when I traveled abroad. I would always read before sleeping. One day, I'd be so rich I would have a library full of novel to choose from. But I would always end the evening with a Bible passage.”
“...I would want to spend it with you. Even if we had thousands of nights, I would want to spend every single one of them with you.”
