“I would rather be a cripple and have your love for all of a single moment than to live as I am without ever having it.”

“I love you, Kaylee. More than I've ever loved anyone. More than I will ever love anyone. If I could freeze this moment in time and never have to let you go, I would do it without a second thought.”

“I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time.”

“I realized I would rather have a single night with you, even if it meant I was doomed to be bound to you, aching for you forever than not know such love.”

“I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.”

“Ellie, I would rather die than ever break your heart. I have never in my life felt like this. I would lay down my life for you if i had to. I love you baby”
