“I want to pretend there's such a thing as requited love. As the endurance of love.”

“There's a kind of holiness to love, requited or not, and those people who don't receive it with gratitude are arrogant beyond saving.”

“theres no pretending, Jace said with absolute clarity. i love you,and i will love you until i die,and if theres a life after that, ill love you then.”

“Whoever extolleth him as a God of love, doth not think highly enough of love itself. Did not that God want also to be judge? But the loving one loveth irrespective of reward and requital.”

“Unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”

“My Lovely, Your guise is unparalleled, Your touch entices my thirst,Your presence thaws my soul, My torso threatens to burst. Awaiting your requited love, Forevermore I shall remain. Never exhausting of time, But enduring its tribunal pain.Ceaselessly Yours, David Chios”
